blowfish-decrypt

Arguments: encrypted &key key end context (pad t) string in-place (external-format :utf-8) (mode :ecb) iv

This function decrypts encrypted, which should be an (unsigned-byte 8) array returned by a call to blowfish-encrypt.

This function returns one or two values, as the string keyword argument is true or false. If string is true, a string is returned as the only returned value. If string is false, an (unsigned-byte 8) array representing the decryption and an integer specifying how many bytes there are in the decrypted result are returned. The second returned value is the length of the array returned as the first returned value when the in-place keyword argument is false, and is a value less than or equal to the length when in-place is true.

The arguments are:
