Defined in:
lib/krypt/codec/base64.rb

Overview

Base64-decodes any data written or read from it in the process.

Example: Reading and decoding Base64-encoded data from a file

f = File.open("b64", "rb")
b64 = Krypt::Base64::Decoder.new(f)
plain = b64.read # => result is decoded
b64.close

Example: Writing to a file while Base64-decoding the data

f = File.open("document", "wb")
b64 = Krypt::Base64::Decoder.new(f)
b64data = ... #some Base64-encoded data
b64 << b64data
b64.close # => contents in file will be decoded

def close
  generic_close

end

#read(len = nil) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

in.read([len=nil]) -> String or nil

Reads from the underlying IO and Base64-decodes the data. Please see IO#read for further details. Note that in-place reading into a buffer is not supported.

def read(len=nil)
  read_len = len ? compute_decode_read_len(len) : nil
  generic_read(len, read_len) { |data| Krypt::Base64.decode(data) }
end

#write(data) ⇒ Object Also known as: <<

call-seq:

out.write(string) -> Integer

Base64-decodes string and writes it to the underlying IO. Please see IO#write for further details.
