11.13 rfc.quoted-printable - Quoted-printable encoding/decoding

Module: rfc.quoted-printable

This module defines a few functions to encode/decode Quoted-printable format, defined in RFC 2045 (RFC2045), section 6.7.

Function: quoted-printable-encode

Reads byte stream from the current input port, encodes it in Quoted-printable format and writes the result character stream to the current output port. The conversion ends when it reads EOF from the current input port.

Function: quoted-printable-encode-string string

Converts contents of string to Quoted-printable encoded format. Input string can be either complete or incomplete string; it is always interpreted as a byte sequence.

Function: quoted-printable-decode

Reads character stream from the current input port, decodes it from Quoted-printable format and writes the result byte stream to the current output port. The conversion ends when it reads EOF. If it encounters illegal character sequence (such as '=' followed by non-hexadecimal characters), it copies them literally to the output.

Function: quoted-printable-decode-string string

Decodes a Quoted-printable encoded string string and returns the result as a string.
