Encoding to Printable Characters

File module provides functions HTUU_encode() and HTUU_decode() which convert a buffer of bytes to/from RFC 1113 printable encoding format. This technique is similar to the familiar Unix uuencode format in that it maps 6 binary bits to one ASCII character (or more aptly, 3 binary bytes to 4 ASCII characters). However, RFC 1113 does not use the same mapping to printable characters as uuencode.

#ifndef HTUU_H
#define HTUU_H

#include "HTUtils.h"

PUBLIC int HTUU_encode PARAMS((unsigned char *bufin,
			       unsigned int nbytes,
			       char *bufcoded));

PUBLIC int HTUU_decode PARAMS((char *bufcoded,
			       unsigned char *bufplain,
			       int outbufsize));

#endif
