106 This overload is a raw decoding function and decodes the data into the

108 the buffer is not large enough -- that is not at least
109 wxBase64DecodedSize(srcLen) bytes.

111 This overload returns the number of bytes written to the buffer or the
112 necessary buffer size if @a dst was @NULL or @c wxCONV_FAILED on error,
113 e.g. if the output buffer is too small or invalid characters were
114 encountered in the input string.
115
116 @param dst
117 Pointer to output buffer, may be @NULL to just compute the necessary
118 buffer size.
119 @param dstLen
120 The size of the output buffer, ignored if dst is @NULL.
121 @param src
122 The input string, must not be @NULL. For the version using wxString,
123 the input string should contain only ASCII characters.
124 @param srcLen
125 The length of the input string or special value wxNO_LEN if the string
126 is @NULL-terminated and the length should be computed by this function
127 itself.
128 @param mode
129 This parameter specifies the function behaviour when invalid characters
130 are encountered in input. By default, any such character stops the
131 decoding with error. If the mode is wxBase64DecodeMode_SkipWS, then the
132 white space characters are silently skipped instead. And if it is
133 wxBase64DecodeMode_Relaxed, then all invalid characters are skipped.
134 @param posErr
135 If this pointer is non-@NULL and an error occurs during decoding, it is
136 filled with the index of the invalid character.
