/**
 * qbase64_decode:
 * @input: the (possibly) base64 encoded text
 * @in_len: length of @input or -1 if NUL terminated
 * @out_len: filled with length of decoded data
 * @errp: pointer to a NULL-initialized error object
 *
 * Attempt to decode the (possibly) base64 encoded
 * text provided in @input. If the @input text may
 * contain embedded NUL characters, or may not be
 * NUL terminated, then @in_len must be set to the
 * known size of the @input buffer.
 *
 * Note that embedded NULs, or lack of a NUL terminator
 * are considered invalid base64 data and errors
 * will be reported to this effect.
 *
 * If decoding is successful, the decoded data will
 * be returned and @out_len set to indicate the
 * number of bytes in the decoded data. The caller
 * must use g_free() to free the returned data when
 * it is no longer required.
 *
 * Returns: the decoded data or NULL
