+
+These function decode a Base64-encoded string. The first version is a raw
+decoding function and decodes the data into the provided buffer \arg{dst} of
+the given size \arg{dstLen}. An error is returned if the buffer is not large
+enough -- that is not at least \helpref{wxBase64DecodedSize(srcLen)}{wxbase64decodedsize} 
+bytes. The second version allocates memory internally and returns it as
+\helpref{wxMemoryBuffer}{wxmemorybuffer} and is recommended for normal use.
+
+The first version returns the number of bytes written to the buffer or the
+necessary buffer size if \arg{dst} was \NULL or \texttt{wxCONV\_FAILED} on
+error, e.g. if the output buffer is too small or invalid characters were
+encountered in the input string. The second version returns a buffer with the
+base64 decoded binary equivalent of the input string. In neither case is the
+buffer NUL-terminated.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{dst}{Pointer to output buffer, may be \NULL to just compute the
+necessary buffer size.}
+
+\docparam{dstLen}{The size of the output buffer, ignored if \arg{dst} is
+\NULL.}

+
+\docparam{srcLen}{The length of the input string or special value
+\texttt{wxNO\_LEN} if the string is \NUL-terminated and the length should be
+computed by this function itself.}
+
+\docparam{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.}
+

+output buffer is too small. To allocate the buffer of the correct size, use 
+\helpref{wxBase64EncodedSize}{wxbase64encodedsize} or call this function with
