10

DESCRIPTION

12       Base64 encode or decode FILE, or standard input, to standard output.
13
14       -w, --wrap=COLS
15              Wrap  encoded lines after COLS character (default 76).  Use 0 to
16              disable line wrapping.
17
18       -d, --decode
19              Decode data.
20
21       -i, --ignore-garbage
22              When decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters.
23
24       --help display this help and exit
25
26       --version
27              output version information and exit
28
29       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
30
31       The data are encoded as described for the base64 alphabet in RFC  3548.
32       When  decoding, the input may contain newlines in addition to the bytes
33       of the formal base64 alphabet.   Use  --ignore-garbage  to  attempt  to
34       recover from any other non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream.
