void base64_encode	(	const char *	raw,
		char *	encoded
	)

Base64-encode a string.

Parameters:

	raw	Raw string
	encoded	Buffer for encoded string

The buffer must be the correct length for the encoded string. Use something like

char buf[ base64_encoded_len ( strlen ( raw ) ) + 1 ];

(the +1 is for the terminating NUL) to provide a buffer of the correct size.
