A C implementation of Douglas Crockford's base32 encoding. The Crockford scheme is designed to be able to achieve the following:

• Be human readable and machine readable.
• Be compact. Humans have difficulty in manipulating long strings of arbitrary symbols.
• Be error resistant. Entering the symbols must not require keyboarding gymnastics.
• Be pronounceable. Humans should be able to accurately transmit the symbols to other humans using a telephone.

##IMPORTANT NOTE This library is maintained by me, please don't bother anyone else about it. Especially not Douglas Crockford.

size_t base32enc(char *dest, const void *src, size_t s_len);

Encodes s_len bytes from src to base32 and stores the result in dest.
returns size of dest

size_t base32dec(void *dest, size_t dest_len, const char *src);

Decodes src to dest for up to dest_len bytes.

size_t base32encsize(size_t count);

Returns estimate of number of bytes required to encode count raw bytes

size_t base32decsize(size_t count);

Returns estimate of number of bytes required to decode, count long base32 string
