extern be_node_t *be_decode(const char *inBuf, size_t inBufLen, size_t *readAmount);
extern ssize_t be_encode(const be_node_t *node, char *outBuf, size_t outBufLen);
extern void be_free(be_node_t *node);
extern void be_dump(be_node_t *node);
- when
be_decode()fails, it returnsNULLand seterrnoto:ENOMEM: memory allocation failedEINVAL: invalid bencode dataELOOP: max depth reached (default: 10)
be_encode(node, NULL, 0)returns the size of output buffer to be allocated. You can malloc and callbe_encode()again with alloc'ed buffer.
