Public predicates
-----------------

.. index:: parse/2
.. _base85/0::parse/2:

``parse/2``
^^^^^^^^^^^

Parses Base85 (Ascii85) data from the given source (``atom(Atom)``, ``chars(List)``, or ``codes(List)``) into a list of bytes.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``parse(Source,Bytes)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``parse(++compound,--list(byte))`` - ``one_or_error``


------------

.. index:: generate/2
.. _base85/0::generate/2:

``generate/2``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Generates Base85 (Ascii85) in the representation specified in the first argument (``atom(Atom)``, ``chars(List)``, or ``codes(List)``) for the list of bytes in the second argument.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``generate(Sink,Bytes)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``generate(+compound,+list(byte))`` - ``one_or_error``
