17 This function is deemed DEPRECATED and will be removed from libssh2 in
18 a future version. Do not use it!
19
20 Decode a base64 chunk and store it into a newly allocated buffer.
21 'dest_len' will be set to hold the length of the returned buffer that
22 '*dest' will point to.
23
24 The returned buffer is allocated by this function, but it is not clear
25 how to free that memory!
26
28 The memory that *dest points to is allocated by the malloc function
29 libssh2 uses, but there is no way for an application to free this data
30 in a safe and reliable way!
31
33 0 if successful, -1 if any error occurred.
