537 data stored in IN of size INLEN to the *OUT buffer. On return, the
538 size of the decoded data is stored in *OUTLEN. OUTLEN may be NULL,
539 if the caller is not interested in the decoded length. *OUT may be
540 NULL to indicate an out of memory error, in which case *OUTLEN
541 contains the size of the memory block needed. The function returns
542 true on successful decoding and memory allocation errors. (Use the
543 *OUT and *OUTLEN parameters to differentiate between successful
544 decoding and memory error.) The function returns false if the
545 input was invalid, in which case *OUT is NULL and *OUTLEN is
546 undefined. */
