NAME
       oath_base32_decode - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <oath.h>

       int oath_base32_decode(const char * in, size_t inlen, char ** out,
       size_t * outlen);

ARGUMENTS
       const char * in
                   input string with base32 encoded data of length inlen

       size_t inlen
                   length of input base32 string in

       char ** out pointer to output variable for binary data of length
                   outlen, or NULL

       size_t * outlen
                   pointer to output variable holding length of out, or NULL

DESCRIPTION
       Decode a base32 encoded string into binary data.

       Space characters are ignored and pad characters are added if needed.
       Non-base32 data are not ignored but instead will lead to an
       OATH_INVALID_BASE32 error.

       The in parameter should contain inlen bytes of base32 encoded data.
       The function allocates a new string in *out to hold the decoded data,
       and sets *outlen to the length of the data.

       If out is NULL, then *outlen will be set to what would have been the
       length of *out on successful encoding.

       If the caller is not interested in knowing the length of the output
       data out, then outlen may be set to NULL.

       It is permitted but useless to have both out and outlen NULL.

RETURNS
       On success OATH_OK (zero) is returned, OATH_INVALID_BASE32 is returned
       if the input contains non-base32 characters, and OATH_MALLOC_ERROR is
       returned on memory allocation errors.

SINCE
       1.12.0
