17 /* This function decodes a string in xtextformat as defined in RFC 1891 and
18 required by the SMTP AUTH extension (RFC 2554). We put the result in a piece of
19 store of equal length - it cannot be longer than this. Although in general the
20 result of decoding an xtext may be binary, in the context in which it is used
21 by Exim (for decoding the value of AUTH on a MAIL command), the result is
22 expected to be an addr-spec. We therefore add on a terminating zero, for
26 code points to the coded string, zero-terminated
27 ptr where to put the pointer to the result, which is in
