Function Documentation

decode_hex()

bool decode_hex	(	const std::string &	hex,
		std::vector< uint8_t > &	out )

Decodes a hexadecimal string into a byte vector.

The input can optionally begin with the prefixes 0x or 0X. After an optional prefix, the string must contain an even number of valid hexadecimal characters.

Parameters

hex	String containing hexadecimal byte values.
out	Output vector receiving the decoded bytes.

Returns

true if the complete input is valid and has been decoded; false if the input has an odd length or contains non-hexadecimal characters.

Note

On failure, out is cleared.
