DATA TYPES

13       ascii_string() = [1..255]
14
15       ascii_binary() = binary()
16
17              A binary() with ASCII characters in the range 1 to 255.

EXPORTS

20       decode(Base64) -> Data
21
22       decode_to_string(Base64) -> DataString
23
24       mime_decode(Base64) -> Data
25
26       mime_decode_to_string(Base64) -> DataString
27
28              Types:
29
30                 Base64 = ascii_string() | ascii_binary()
31                 Data = ascii_binary()
32                 DataString = ascii_string()
33
34              Decodes a base64-encoded string to plain ASCII. See RFC 4648.
35
36              mime_decode/1  and  mime_decode_to_string/1  strip  away illegal
37              characters, while decode/1  and  decode_to_string/1  only  strip
38              away whitespace characters.
39
40       encode(Data) -> Base64
41
42       encode_to_string(Data) -> Base64String
43
44              Types:
45
46                 Data = ascii_string() | ascii_binary()
47                 Base64 = ascii_binary()
48                 Base64String = ascii_string()
49
50              Encodes  a  plain  ASCII  string  into base64. The result is 33%
51              larger than the data.
