I have a function that returns a bitcoin address but I want to perform base58check encoding on it to convert it to a bitcoin address.

unsigned char address[]="008f26a17cbbc941a9dbe63a1f1c69591f08aab94bd586ad5e"

The address is stored in an unsigned char array.

any suggestions or libraries how can I do it in c language.

What I have tried:

I looked for the same problem on google but it gave me code for c++. I want to do it strictly in the c program. Is there any way I could perform base58 encoding in the c program.

It's the one that came right after base56 encoding. They skipped 57 which is probably why you are confused.

Hey, I never got past base 8 encoding.

If you have c++ can't you rewrite it in C?

C programmers don't 'look for the same problem on google'.
(If they really have to, then, first write themselves the Google search engine code, then use it).
