17 This program can either encode a file with Base64 encoding suited for
18 inclusion of binary data into text files such as XML files and decode
19 Base64 encoded data back into its original form. The first argument
20 controls whether base64tool will encode or decode. The second argument
21 is name of the file that data is read from. The third argument is the
22 name of the file that output is written to. The file will be overwrit‐
23 ten if it exists.
24
25 When encoding an optional fourth parameter, maxlen, specifies the maxi‐
26 mum line length to output. It defaults to 72 if left out.
