sample for base64 encoding in c language

[aruna.eies.eng@gmail.com]

i am currently trying to convert data into binary data.for that i need
to know how to achieve it in c language and what are the libraries
that we can use. so if any one can send me a sample code or send me
the library file which helps that is really grateful.

aruna.

hey im adding more,
i tried with this

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){


long l;
l=A64L("asdbsde ");
printf(%d,l);
return 0;

}
but at the A64l it says this is Compatible with UNIX System V C.
so cud u find the error there.

The number 6 item on this link may help. Note that the code has been
criticized and also note that the download has a lot more code than the tiny
fragments shown in situ. I did the download and it looked like real source
code. Then I lost interest. I think it is entirely possible that you might
code it yourself and come out with comparable results, timewise. I am quite
sure base64 is documented well enough on the Web that it is just a question
of writing the code. And when you get through you *know* what you have. I
am registered for downloads on this site and it hasn't had any nasty side
effects.

It is also entirely possible there is something better already on the net.

What is your data, and what do you mean by "binary data"?

You need to clarify what you mean. Data is data is data.

no definition of function "A64L" provided.

> printf(%d,l);

missing quote marks round specifier
missing \n at the end of the format string - output not guaranteed.
%d is not the specifier for a long, undefined behaviour.

no idea what you mean by that.

Uhh ... under the assumption that you want a base64 encoder and/or
decoder (based on your subject) you may find a fairly robust one in
the bstraux module of the Better String Library from here:

http://bstring.sf.net/

Unlike the one posted by Lew Pitcher, the one in Bstrlib actually
takes binary input, not just '\0'-free C string input (which kind of
defeats the entire point of a base64 codec). Anyways, it tracks
decoder errors and allows you to stream the conversion through IO
(because you might not have the memory to do it) or whatever.

Ahem!

If you examined the code, you would have seen that the encode() function does
not "just take '\0'-free C string input". It indeed takes a char buffer of
arbitrary binary data, and transforms that into a MIME base64 string.
Similarly, the decode() function takes a MIME base64 string of specified
length (possibly terminated by a non-MIME-base64 character) and transforms
that into a buffer of arbitrary binary data.

I suggest that next time you are tempted to critique some code, you should
read it first.

Whoops! Sorry, you are right. I did skim your code, but just way too
quickly. Indeed, I withdraw my complaint about your code; it does
appear to be better designed and more correct than I thought.

if i say you the full story, we are currently developing a project
named 'fast infoset' which has recommended ITU(Internation al
Telecomunicatio n Union), this is to speed up the messaging and there
is one open source implementation named fi at sun under the glass fish
projects.so we are going to do the c implementation. so we need to
encode the xml data into binary data, according to the specification
there are several encoding methods according to the character data for
an example for integers there is int encoding algorithms, which is a
built in algorithm. so i need to start my stuff some where else , that
is why i tried to have some sample codes which encode the just
character data in to base64 encoded data. for that i tried to find a
method from the library function as a result of that i got above
mentioned function. but it did nt work.so any way i saw one sample
code is given there at the below which is sent by Mark McIntyre . I
tried with that, amaizing that is working.
so any way thanks you lot.

hi Lew ,
i m really grateful you and amazing that is really working .
so thanks lot .

You're welcome.

I wrote that code as an example for an XML development project I was
working on. From that C code, I wrote a corresponding COBOL program to
encode and decode in base64 (the C code being a template for the
webish side of the system, and the COBOL for the mainframe side of the
system).

I'm glad it worked for you.
