0025  * A wrapper class for the most commonly used encoding and
0026  * decoding algorithms.  Currently there is support for encoding
0027  * and decoding input using base64, uu and the quoted-printable
0028  * specifications.
0029  *
0030  * \b Usage:
0031  *
0032  * \code
0033  * QByteArray input = "Aladdin:open sesame";
0034  * QByteArray result = KCodecs::base64Encode(input);
0035  * cout << "Result: " << result.data() << endl;
0036  * \endcode
0037  *
0038  * <pre>
0039  * Output should be
0040  * Result: QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
0041  * </pre>
0042  *
0043  * The above example makes use of the convenience functions
0044  * (ones that accept/return null-terminated strings) to encode/decode
0045  * a string.  If what you need is to encode or decode binary data, then
0046  * it is highly recommended that you use the functions that take an input
0047  * and output QByteArray as arguments.  These functions are specifically
0048  * tailored for encoding and decoding binary data.

0498   @class KCodecs::Decoder kcodecs.h KCodecs
0499 
0500   @brief Stateful CTE decoder class
0501 
0502   Stateful decoder class, modelled after QTextDecoder.
0503 
0504   @section Overview
0505 
0506   KCodecs decoders are designed to be able to process encoded data in
0507   chunks of arbitrary size and to work with output buffers of also
0508   arbitrary size. They maintain any state necessary to go on where
0509   the previous call left off.
0510 
0511   The class consists of only two methods of interest: see decode,
0512   which decodes an input block and finalize, which flushes any
0513   remaining data to the output stream.
0514 
0515   Typically, you will create a decoder instance, call decode as
0516   often as necessary, then call finalize (most often a single
0517   call suffices, but it might be that during that call the output
0518   buffer is filled, so you should be prepared to call finalize
0519   as often as necessary, i.e. until it returns @p true).
0520 
0521   @section Return Values
0522 
0523   Both methods return @p true to indicate that they've finished their
0524   job. For decode, a return value of @p true means that the
0525   current input block has been finished (@p false most often means
0526   that the output buffer is full, but that isn't required
0527   behavior. The decode call is free to return at arbitrary
0528   times during processing).
0529 
0530   For finalize, a return value of @p true means that all data
0531   implicitly or explicitly stored in the decoder instance has been
0532   flushed to the output buffer. A @p false return value should be
0533   interpreted as "check if the output buffer is full and call me
0534   again", just as with decode.
0535 
0536   @section Usage Pattern
0537 
0538   Since the decoder maintains state, you can only use it once. After
0539   a sequence of input blocks has been processed, you finalize
0540   the output and then delete the decoder instance. If you want to
0541   process another input block sequence, you create a new instance.
0542 
0543   Typical usage (@p in contains the (base64-encoded) input data),
0544   taking into account all the conventions detailed above:
0545 
0546   <pre>
0547   KCodecs::Codec *codec = KCodecs::Codec::codecForName("base64");
0548   if (!codec) {
0549       qFatal() << "No codec found for base64!";
0550   }
0551   KCodecs::Decoder *dec = codec->makeDecoder();
0552   Q_ASSERT(dec); // should not happen
0553   QByteArray out(256); // small buffer is enough ;-)
0554   QByteArray::Iterator iit = in.begin();
0555   QByteArray::Iterator oit = out.begin();
0556   // decode the chunk
0557   while (!dec->decode(iit, in.end(), oit, out.end()))
0558     if (oit == out.end()) { // output buffer full, process contents
0559       do_something_with(out);
0560       oit = out.begin();
0561     }
0562   // repeat while loop for each input block
0563   // ...
0564   // finish (flush remaining data from decoder):
0565   while (!dec->finish(oit, out.end()))
0566     if (oit == out.end()) { // output buffer full, process contents
0567       do_something_with(out);
0568       oit = out.begin();
0569     }
0570   // now process last chunk:
0571   out.resize(oit - out.begin());
0572   do_something_with(out);
0573   // _delete_ the decoder, but not the codec:
0574   delete dec;
0575   </pre>
