The encoding/decoding of the "attributes" or stat packet are done in: <bacula-source>/src/findlib/attribs.c The base64 routines are Bacula home-brew, if I remember right, so you will need to look at that code too: <bacula-source>/src/lib/base64.c Unfortunately, when I wrote it, I didn't realize there was an RFC on base64 so my choice of the two special characters was different from the "standard".
