NAME
OPENSSL_hexchar2int, OPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex, OPENSSL_hexstr2buf,
OPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex, OPENSSL_buf2hexstr - Hex encoding and decoding
functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
int OPENSSL_hexchar2int(unsigned char c);
int OPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex(unsigned char *buf, size_t buf_n, long *buflen,
const char *str, const char sep);
unsigned char *OPENSSL_hexstr2buf(const char *str, long *len);
int OPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex(char *str, size_t str_n, size_t *strlength,
const unsigned char *buf, long buflen,
const char sep);
char *OPENSSL_buf2hexstr(const unsigned char *buf, long buflen);
DESCRIPTION
OPENSSL_hexchar2int() converts a hexadecimal character to its numeric
equivalent.
OPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex() decodes the hex string str and places the
resulting string of bytes in the given buf. The character sep is the
separator between the bytes, setting this to '\0' means that there is
no separator. buf_n gives the size of the buffer. If buflen is not
NULL, it is filled in with the result length. To find out how large
the result will be, call this function with NULL for buf. Colons
between two-character hex "bytes" are accepted and ignored. An odd
number of hex digits is an error.
OPENSSL_hexstr2buf() does the same thing as OPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex(),
but allocates the space for the result, and returns the result. It uses
a default separator of ':'. The memory is allocated by calling
OPENSSL_malloc() and should be released by calling OPENSSL_free().
OPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex() encodes the contents of the given buf with
length buflen and places the resulting hexadecimal character string in
the given str. The character sep is the separator between the bytes,
setting this to '\0' means that there is no separator. str_n gives the
size of the of the string buffer. If strlength is not NULL, it is
filled in with the result length. To find out how large the result
will be, call this function with NULL for str.
OPENSSL_buf2hexstr() does the same thing as OPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex(),
but allocates the space for the result, and returns the result. It uses
a default separator of ':'. The memory is allocated by calling
OPENSSL_malloc() and should be released by calling OPENSSL_free().
RETURN VALUES
OPENSSL_hexchar2int returns the value of a decoded hex character, or -1
on error.
OPENSSL_buf2hexstr() and OPENSSL_hexstr2buf() return a pointer to
allocated memory, or NULL on error.
OPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex() and OPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex() return 1 on
