    To allocate the buffer of the correct size, use wxBase64EncodedSize() or

    necessary buffer size.

    This raw encoding function overload writes the output string into the
    provided buffer; the other overloads return it as a wxString.

    @param dst
        The output buffer, may be @NULL to retrieve the needed buffer size.
    @param dstLen
        The output buffer size, ignored if dst is @NULL.
    @param src
        The input buffer, must not be @NULL.
    @param srcLen
        The length of the input data.

    @return @c wxCONV_FAILED if the output buffer is too small.

/**
    This function decodes a Base64-encoded string.

    This overload is a raw decoding function and decodes the data into the
    provided buffer @a dst of the given size @e dstLen. An error is returned if
    the buffer is not large enough -- that is not at least
    wxBase64DecodedSize(srcLen) bytes.

    This overload returns the number of bytes written to the buffer or the
    necessary buffer size if @a dst was @NULL or @c wxCONV_FAILED on error,
    e.g. if the output buffer is too small or invalid characters were
    encountered in the input string.

    @param dst
        Pointer to output buffer, may be @NULL to just compute the necessary
        buffer size.
    @param dstLen
        The size of the output buffer, ignored if dst is @NULL.
    @param src
        The input string, must not be @NULL. For the version using wxString,
        the input string should contain only ASCII characters.
    @param srcLen
        The length of the input string or special value wxNO_LEN if the string
        is @NULL-terminated and the length should be computed by this function
        itself.
    @param mode
        This parameter specifies the function behaviour when invalid characters
        are encountered in input. By default, any such character stops the
        decoding with error. If the mode is wxBase64DecodeMode_SkipWS, then the
        white space characters are silently skipped instead. And if it is
        wxBase64DecodeMode_Relaxed, then all invalid characters are skipped.
    @param posErr
        If this pointer is non-@NULL and an error occurs during decoding, it is
        filled with the index of the invalid character.
