UU Encoding and Decoding

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to UU encode and decode. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    const crypt = try chilkat.Crypt2.init();
    defer crypt.deinit();

    const s1 = "This string is to be UU encoded";

    crypt.setUuMode("666");
    crypt.setUuFilename("something.txt");

    // UU encode:
    const s2 = try crypt.encodeString(alloc, s1, "ansi", "uu");

    // Note: Call crypt.Encode instead of crypt.EncodeString
    // to UU encode binary bytes (i.e. non-text binary data).

    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{s2});

    // UU decode:
    const crypt2 = try chilkat.Crypt2.init();
    defer crypt2.deinit();
    const s3 = try crypt2.decodeString(alloc, s2, "ansi", "uu");

    // Note: Likewise, call crypt.Decode to decode non-text binary data.

    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{s3});

    // Show the file permissions mode and filename found
    // in the UU encoded data:
    std.debug.print("UuMode = {s}\n", .{try crypt2.getUuMode(alloc)});
    std.debug.print("UuFilename = {s}\n", .{try crypt2.getUuFilename(alloc)});
