base64_encode

base64_encode :: (
    input: string,
    table: string = BASE64_ENCODER_TABLE,
    pad := true
) -> string

With pad set (the default) the text ends in = so its length is a multiple of 4; without it the last group is left short. Empty input gives an empty string. table must hold exactly 64 bytes, or an assert fails.

The result is allocated with the context allocator. The caller frees it.

Parameters

input: string

table: string

pad := true

Returns

string

encoded := base64_encode("Man");
defer free(encoded);
assert(encoded == "TWFu");

padded := base64_encode("Ma");
defer free(padded);
assert(padded == "TWE=");

bare := base64_encode("Ma", pad = false);
defer free(bare);
assert(bare == "TWE");
