7

SYNOPSIS

10

DESCRIPTION

12       Base64 encode or decode FILE, or standard input, to standard output.

15       too.
16
17       -d, --decode
18              decode data
19
20       -i, --ignore-garbage
21              when decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters
22
23       -w, --wrap=COLS
24              wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76).  Use 0  to
25              disable line wrapping
26
27       --help display this help and exit
28
29       --version

31
32       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
33
34       The  data are encoded as described for the base64 alphabet in RFC 3548.
35       When decoding, the input may contain newlines in addition to the  bytes
36       of  the  formal  base64  alphabet.   Use --ignore-garbage to attempt to
37       recover from any other non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream.
