NAME

       FBB::IBase64Stream - Std::istream performing base64 encoding and decoding

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/ibase64stream>
       Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

       FBB::IBase64Stream  objects  may  be  used to base64 encode or decrypt information that is
       available on a separate std::istream.

       The class IBase64Stream is a class template,  using  a  FBB::CryptType  template  non-type
       parameter.   Objects  of  the  class  FBB::IBase64Stream<FBB::ENCODE>  base64  encode  the
       information they receive, objects of  the  class  FBB::IBase64Stream<FBB::DECRYPT>  base64
       decode the information they receive.

NAMESPACE

       FBB
       All  constructors,  members,  operators  and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are
       defined in the namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM

       FBB::IBase64Streambuf (private),
       std::istream

CONSTRUCTORS

       o      IBase64Stream<CryptType>(std::istream &in, size_t bufSize = 100):
              This   constructor   initializes   a   std::istream   providing    it    with    an
              FBB::IBase64Streambuf  stream  buffer.  The IBase64Streambuf’s constructor receives
              all arguments that are passed to this constructor.

              - IBase64Stream<ENCRYPT> objects perform base64 encoding;
              - IBase64Stream<DECRYPT> objects perform base64 decoding;
              - IBase64Stream<CryptType> objects obtain  the  bytes  to  encode  or  decode  from
              std::istream &in;
              -  The  internally  used  IFilterStreambuf  is  initialized  with  a buffer of size
              bufSize, using a lower bound of 100.

INHERITED MEMBERS

       Since the class uses public derivation from std::istream, all members of this class can be
       used.

EXAMPLE

       #include "../ibase64stream"

       #include <iostream>

       using namespace std;
       using namespace FBB;

       int main()
       {
           IBase64Stream<ENCRYPT> in(cin);
       }
