Functions

character_to_quintet

Convert a character code value (such as “y”) to its integer value (such as 0).

decode_slices

Decode a buffer of characters to a buffer of octets (bytes).

is_last_quintet_valid

Determine if the last quintet is, given the number of bits to decode

quintets_to_octets

Convert a buffer of quintet integer values (ie, integers of the range 0-31) into a buffer of octet (byte) values.

required_octets_buffer_len

Calculate the number of octets that are required to hold the specified number of bits.
