Name
base64 — base64 encode/decode data and print to
standard output
DESCRIPTION
Base64 encode or decode FILE, or standard input, to
standard output.
−w, −−wrap=COLS-
Wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default
76). Use 0 to disable line wrapping.
−d, −−decode-
Decode data.
−i, −−ignore−garbage-
When decoding, ignore non−alphabet
characters.
−−help-
Display this help and exit.
−−version-
Output version information and exit.
With no FILE, or when FILE is −, read standard
input.
The data are encoded as described for the base64 alphabet
in RFC 3548. When decoding, the input may contain newlines in
addition to the bytes of the formal base64 alphabet. Use
−−ignore−garbage to attempt
to recover from any other non−alphabet bytes in the
encoded stream.
