decodes bytes from ASCII hex characters

Reads src_len / 2 pairs of ASCII hex characters starting at src, and writes src_len / 2 bytes starting at dst. The first ASCII hex character in a pair becomes the most-significant nibble in the corresponding byte. Decoding stops early if an invalid ASCII hex character is reached.

Return Values

0 if dst_len is too small to hold the decoding or if src_len is not a multiple of 2; else returns the number of character pairs decoded.
