+ * qbase64_decode:
+ * @input: the (possibly) base64 encoded text
+ * @in_len: length of @input or -1 if NUL terminated
+ * @out_len: filled with length of decoded data
+ * @errp: pointer to a NULL-initialized error object
+ *
+ * Attempt to decode the (possibly) base64 encoded
+ * text provided in @input. If the @input text may
+ * contain embedded NUL characters, or may not be
+ * NUL terminated, then @in_len must be set to the
+ * known size of the @input buffer.
+ *
+ * Note that embedded NULs, or lack of a NUL terminator
+ * are considered invalid base64 data and errors
+ * will be reported to this effect.
+ *
+ * If decoding is successful, the decoded data will
+ * be returned and @out_len set to indicate the
+ * number of bytes in the decoded data. The caller
+ * must use g_free() to free the returned data when
+ * it is no longer required.
+ *
+ * Returns: the decoded data or NULL
