base64-string-to-string

Arguments: string

The inverse of string-to-base64-string. Similar to base64-string-to-usb8-array except a string rather than a usb8 array is returned.

If external formats are an issue, the following form can be used in place of this function for an external-format ef (typically named by a keyword like :iso-2022-jp):

(let ((octets (base64-string-to-usb8-array base64-string)))
  (values
   (octets-to-string octets :external-format <ef>
                     :end (length octets))))
