Docs
Decode accepts an io.Reader (of yenc encoded data - complete with headers) and returns a *Part.
func Decode(input io.Reader) (*Part, error)
The Part struct contains all the decoded data.
type Part struct {
// part num
Number int
// size from part trailer
Size int
// file boundarys
Begin, End int
// filename from yenc header
Name string
// the decoded data
Body []byte
// ..contains filtered or unexported fields..
}
Example
package main
import (
"github.com/chrisfarms/yenc"
"os"
)
func main(){
f,err := os.Open("some_file.yenc")
if err != nil {
panic("could not open file")
}
part,err := yenc.Decode(f)
if err != nil {
panic("decoding: " + err.Error())
}
fmt.Println("Filename", part.Name)
fmt.Println("Body Bytes", part.Body)
}
