Line 1: Line 1:
 +======Synopsis:======
 +$[[b64decode]](//<stuff>//)
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +Returns the inverse RFC1421 transformation of //<stuff>//, commonly known 
 +as Base64.  The inverse transformation converts four Base64 digits into 
 +three bytes.
 +
 +Alas, because ircII only supports C strings, if //<stuff>// decodes to 
 +binary data (with nuls) it will probably not do what you hope.
 +
 +The reverse transformation is [[b64encode]].
 +
 +Don't confuse this encoding with the one used by FiSH (popularized by eggdrop 
 +and other irc clients for encrypted messages).  FiSH uses l64a encoding, and 
 +can be decoded using the [[xform]] FISH64 transform.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +The rfc1421 string //<stuff>// converted into a C string.
