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

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.
