.TH LIBRECRYPT_ENCODE 3 LIBRECRYPT
.SH NAME
librecrypt_encode - Encode binary salt or hash result into ASCII
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <librecrypt.h>
size_t \fBlibrecrypt_encode\fP(char *\fIout_buffer\fP, size_t \fIsize\fP,
const void *\fIbinary\fP, size_t \fIlen\fP,
const char \fIlut\fP[restrict static 256], char \fIpad\fP);
.fi
.PP
Link with
.IR -lrecrypt .
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR librecrypt_encode ()
function encodes
.I len
bytes of binary data from
.IR binary
into an ASCII representation written to
.IR out_buffer .
This is used for encoding hash results and salts.
.PP
The
.I lut
argument is an encoding alphabet, consisting
of 64 characters, repeated 4 times.
.PP
The
.I pad
argument specifies the padding character to
use at the end, or the null byte if none.
.PP
On successful completion, up to
.I size
bytes are written to
.IR out_buffer ;
if
.I size
is positive, the output is always
null byte-terminated even if truncated.
.PP
The return value is the number of bytes
that would have been written, excluding
the terminating null byte, if
.I size
was sufficiently large.
.SH RETURN VALUES
The
.BR librecrypt_encode ()
function returns the number of bytes that
would have been written to
.IR out_buffer ,
excluding the terminating null byte.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR librecrypt_encode ()
function cannot fail.
