12 Base 64: Encoding and Decoding
The net/base64 library provides
utilities for Base 64 (MIME-standard) encoding and decoding.
12.1 Functions
procedure
(base64-encode bstr [newline-bstr]) → bytes?
bstr : bytes? newline-bstr : bytes? = #"\r\n"
Consumes a byte string and returns its Base 64 encoding as a new byte
string. The returned string is broken into 72-byte lines separated by
newline-bstr, which defaults to a CRLF combination, and the
result always ends with a newline-bstr unless the
input is empty.
procedure
(base64-decode bstr) → bytes?
bstr : bytes?
Consumes a byte string and returns its Base 64 decoding as a new byte
string.
procedure
(base64-encode-stream in out [newline-bstr]) → void?
in : input-port? out : output-port? newline-bstr : bytes? = #"\n"
Reads bytes from in and writes the encoded result to
out, breaking the output into 72-character lines separated by
newline-bstr, and ending with newline-bstr unless
the input stream is empty. Note that the default newline-bstr
is just #"\n", not #"\r\n". The procedure returns when
it encounters an end-of-file from in.
procedure
(base64-decode-stream in out) → void?
in : input-port? out : output-port?
Reads a Base 64 encoding from in and writes the decoded
result to out. The procedure returns when it encounters an
end-of-file or Base 64 terminator = from in.
12.2 Base64 Unit
base64@ and base64^ are deprecated. They exist for backward-compatibility and will likely be removed in the future. New code should use the net/base64 module.
| (require net/base64-unit) |
value
base64@ : unit?
Imports nothing, exports base64^.
12.3 Base64 Signature
| (require net/base64-sig) |
signature
base64^ : signature
Includes everything exported by the net/base64 module.
