Detailed Description

A wrapper class for the most commonly used encoding and decoding algorithms.

Currently there is support for encoding and decoding input using base64, uu and the quoted-printable specifications.

Usage:

QByteArray input = "Aladdin:open sesame";
QByteArray result = KCodecs::base64Encode(input);
cout << "Result: " << result.data() << endl;

Output should be
Result: QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

The above example makes use of the convenience functions (ones that accept/return null-terminated strings) to encode/decode a string. If what you need is to encode or decode binary data, then it is highly recommended that you use the functions that take an input and output QByteArray as arguments. These functions are specifically tailored for encoding and decoding binary data.

A collection of commonly used encoding and decoding algorithms.

base64Decode() [1/2]

QByteArray KCodecs::base64Decode

(

const QByteArray &

in

)

Decodes the given data that was encoded using the base64 algorithm.

Parameters

in	data to be decoded.

Returns

decoded string.

Definition at line 137 of file kcodecs.cpp.

base64Decode() [2/2]

void KCodecs::base64Decode	(	const QByteArray &	in,
		QByteArray &	out
	)

Decodes the given data that was encoded with the base64 algorithm.

Use this function if you want the result of the decoding to be placed in another array which cuts down the number of copy operation that have to be performed in the process. This is also the preferred method for decoding an encoded binary data.

NOTE: the output array is first reset and then resized appropriately before use, hence, all data stored in the output array will be lost.

Parameters

in	data to be decoded.
out	decoded data.

Definition at line 143 of file kcodecs.cpp.

base64Encode() [1/3]

QByteArray KCodecs::base64Encode

(

const QByteArray &

in

)

Encodes the given data using the base64 algorithm.

The boolean argument determines if the encoded data is going to be restricted to 76 characters or less per line as specified by RFC 2045. If insertLFs is true, then there will be 76 characters or less per line.

Parameters

in	data to be encoded.
insertLFs	limit the number of characters per line.

Returns

base64 encoded string.

Since

5.5

Definition at line 117 of file kcodecs.cpp.

base64Encode() [2/3]

QByteArray KCodecs::base64Encode	(	const QByteArray &	in,
		bool	insertLFs
	)

KCodecs::base64Encode(QByteArray)

Deprecated:

Since 5.5, use KCodecs::base64Encode(QByteArray) instead.

Definition at line 124 of file kcodecs.cpp.

base64Encode() [3/3]

void KCodecs::base64Encode	(	const QByteArray &	in,
		QByteArray &	out,
		bool	insertLFs = false
	)

Encodes the given data using the base64 algorithm.

Use this function if you want the result of the encoding to be placed in another array which cuts down the number of copy operation that have to be performed in the process. This is also the preferred method for encoding binary data.

The boolean argument determines if the encoded data is going to be restricted to 76 characters or less per line as specified by RFC 2045. If insertLFs is true, then there will be 76 characters or less per line.

NOTE: the output array is first reset and then resized appropriately before use, hence, all data stored in the output array will be lost.

Parameters

in	data to be encoded.
out	encoded data.
insertLFs	limit the number of characters per line.

Definition at line 131 of file kcodecs.cpp.

binToHex()

static char KCodecs::binToHex ( uchar  value )

inlinestatic

Converts a 4-bit value into its hexadecimal characater representation.

So input of value [0,15] returns ['0','1',... 'F']. Input values greater than 15 will produce undesired results.

Parameters

value

is an unsigned character containing the 4-bit input value.

decodeRFC2047String() [1/2]

QString KCodecs::decodeRFC2047String	(	const QByteArray &	src,
		QByteArray *	usedCS,
		const QByteArray &	defaultCS = QByteArray(),
		CharsetOption	option = NoOption
	)

Decodes string src according to RFC2047, i.e.

the construct =?charset?[qb]?encoded?=

Parameters

src	source string.
usedCS	the name of any detected charset or, in case of multiple different ones, "UTF-8" as that of a super charset is returned here
defaultCS	the charset to use in case the detected one isn't known to us.
option	options for the encoder

Returns

the decoded string.

Since

5.5

Definition at line 380 of file kcodecs.cpp.

decodeRFC2047String() [2/2]

QString KCodecs::decodeRFC2047String

(

const QString &

text

)

Decodes string text according to RFC2047, i.e., the construct =?charset?[qb]?encoded?=.

Parameters

text	source string

Returns

the decoded string

Definition at line 374 of file kcodecs.cpp.

encodeRFC2047String()

KCODECS_EXPORT QByteArray KCodecs::encodeRFC2047String	(	const QString &	src,
		const QByteArray &	charset
	)

Encodes string src according to RFC2047 using charset charset.

This function also makes commas, quotes and other characters part of the encoded name, for example the string "Jöhn Döe" <john@.nosp@m.exam.nosp@m.ple.c.nosp@m.om"> would be encoded as <encoded word for "Jöhn Döe"> john@.nosp@m.exam.nosp@m.ple.c.nosp@m.om, i.e. the opening and closing quote mark would be part of the encoded word. Therefore don't use this function for input strings that contain semantically meaningful characters, like the quoting marks in this example.

Parameters

src	source string.
charset	charset to use. If it can't encode the string, UTF-8 will be used instead.

Returns

the encoded string.

Since

5.5

Definition at line 441 of file kcodecs.cpp.

Definition at line 54 of file kcodecsqp.cpp.

keep()
