How to Encode and Decode an Image in Objective c

[jpsubbarayalu]

Hi Friends,

i am new in Objective c.My problem is how to convert image to Byte array[Encoding].Similarly how to convert Byte array to Image[Decoding]...In C i am using the Following code for Encoding and Decoding purpose...
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/*
** Translation Table as described in RFC1113
*/
static const char cb64[]="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuv wxyz0123456789+/";

/*
** Translation Table to decode (created by author)
*/
static const char cd64[]="|$$$}rstuvwxyz{$$$$$$$>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW $$$$$$XYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopq";

/*
** encodeblock
**
** encode 3 8-bit binary bytes as 4 '6-bit' characters
*/
void encodeblock( unsigned char in[3], unsigned char out[4], int len )
{
out[0] = cb64[ in[0] >> 2 ];
out[1] = cb64[ ((in[0] & 0x03) << 4) | ((in[1] & 0xf0) >> 4) ];
out[2] = (unsigned char) (len > 1 ? cb64[ ((in[1] & 0x0f) << 2) | ((in[2] & 0xc0) >> 6) ] : '=');
out[3] = (unsigned char) (len > 2 ? cb64[ in[2] & 0x3f ] : '=');
}

/*
** encode
**
** base64 encode a stream adding padding and line breaks as per spec.
*/
void encode( FILE *infile, FILE *outfile, int linesize )
{
unsigned char in[3], out[4];
int i, len, blocksout = 0;

while( !feof( infile ) ) {
len = 0;
for( i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) {
in[i] = (unsigned char) getc( infile );
if( !feof( infile ) ) {
len++;
}
else {
in[i] = 0;
}
}
if( len ) {
encodeblock( in, out, len );
for( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
putc( out[i], outfile );
}
blocksout++;
}
if( blocksout >= (linesize/4) || feof( infile ) ) {
if( blocksout ) {
fprintf( outfile, "\r\n" );
}
blocksout = 0;
}
}
}

/*
** decodeblock
**
** decode 4 '6-bit' characters into 3 8-bit binary bytes
*/
void decodeblock( unsigned char in[4], unsigned char out[3] )
{
out[ 0 ] = (unsigned char ) (in[0] << 2 | in[1] >> 4);
out[ 1 ] = (unsigned char ) (in[1] << 4 | in[2] >> 2);
out[ 2 ] = (unsigned char ) (((in[2] << 6) & 0xc0) | in[3]);
}

/*
** decode
**
** decode a base64 encoded stream discarding padding, line breaks and noise
*/
void decode( FILE *infile, FILE *outfile )
{
unsigned char in[4], out[3], v;
int i, len;

while( !feof( infile ) ) {
for( len = 0, i = 0; i < 4 && !feof( infile ); i++ ) {
v = 0;
while( !feof( infile ) && v == 0 ) {
v = (unsigned char) getc( infile );
v = (unsigned char) ((v < 43 || v > 122) ? 0 : cd64[ v - 43 ]);
if( v ) {
v = (unsigned char) ((v == '$') ? 0 : v - 61);
}
}
if( !feof( infile ) ) {
len++;
if( v ) {
in[ i ] = (unsigned char) (v - 1);
}
}
else {
in[i] = 0;
}
}
if( len ) {
decodeblock( in, out );
for( i = 0; i < len - 1; i++ ) {
putc( out[i], outfile );
}
}
}
}

But i don't know in objective c...Pls help me to sort out this issue...

Thanks

objective c is a strict superset of C so c code should run just fine
