+/**
+ * RFC4648 and RFC7515 compliant BASE64, BASE64URL, BASE32, BASE32HEX
+ * and BASE16 encode/decode functions.
+ *
+ * The following encodings are supported:
+ *
+ * - Base 64 Encoding
+ *
+ * o Use flag APR_ENCODE_NONE
+ * o https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-4
+ *
+ * - Base 64 Encoding with URL and Filename Safe Alphabet
+ *
+ * o Use flag APR_ENCODE_URL
+ * o https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-5
+ *
+ * - Base 64 URL Encoding without Padding
+ *
+ * o Use flag APR_ENCODE_BASE64URL
+ * o https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7515#appendix-C
+ *
+ * - Base 32 Encoding
+ *
+ * o Use flag APR_ENCODE_NONE
+ * o https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-6
+ *
+ * - Base 32 Encoding with Extended Hex Alphabet
+ *
+ * o Use flag APR_ENCODE_BASE32HEX
+ * o https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-7
+ *
+ * - Base 16 Encoding
+ *
+ * o Use flags APR_ENCODE_NONE/APR_ENCODE_COLON
+ * o https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-8
+ *
+ * If a non valid character of any kind including whitespace is passed to any
+ * of the decoder functions, APR_BADCH will be returned. In this case decoding
+ * will still take place, but the results can not be trusted.
+ *
+ * If APR_ENCODE_RELAXED is passed to the decoder functions, decoding will be
+ * attempted up until the first non valid character. If this results in an
+ * invalid state in the decoder, such as but not limited to an odd number of
+ * base16 characters, APR_BADCH will still be returned.
+ *
+ * If APR_ENCODE_RELAXED is not passed to a decoder function, the decoding will
+ * be done in constant time regardless of whether the result returns APR_SUCCESS
+ * or APR_BADCH.
+ *
+ * If the dest parameter is NULL, the maximum theoretical buffer size is
+ * returned in the len field, including space for a terminating zero character
+ * if the destination is a string. This value can be used to allocate buffers
+ * of a suitable safe size.
+ *
+ * If the dest parameter is provided, the encoding or decoding will take place,
+ * and the actual number of characters written is returned in the len field,
+ * ignoring any terminating zero.
+ *
+ * Plain strings are not assumed '\0' terminated unless APR_ENCODE_STRING is
+ * provided.
