Call this function to convert some data using the "Q" encoding.

Syntax

      inline BOOL QEncode(
   BYTE* pbSrcData,
   int nSrcLen,
   LPSTR szDest,
   int* pnDestLen,
   LPCSTR pszCharSet,
   int* pnNumEncoded = NULL 
) throw( );

Parameters

pbSrcData
The buffer containing the data to be encoded.
nSrcLen
The length in bytes of the data to be encoded.
szDest
Caller-allocated buffer to receive the encoded data.
pnDestLen
Pointer to a variable that contains the length in characters of szDest. If the function succeeds, the variable receives the number of characters written to the buffer. If the function fails, the variable receives the required length in characters of the buffer.
pszCharSet
The character set to use for the conversion.
pnNumEncoded
A pointer to a variable that on return contains the number of unsafe characters that had to be converted.

Return Value

Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

Remarks

The "Q" encoding scheme is described in RFC 2047 (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt).
