21
22       -i, --ignore-garbage
23              when decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters
24
25       -w, --wrap=COLS
26              wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76).  Use 0  to
27              disable line wrapping
28
29       --help display this help and exit
30
31       --version

34       The  data are encoded as described for the base64 alphabet in RFC 4648.
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.
