NAME

       ascii85 - encodes or decodes files using Ascii85 ruby library

SYNOPSIS

       ascii85 [OPTIONS] FILES

DESCRIPTION

       Ascii85 (also called "Base85") is a form of binary-to-text encoding, wich is mainly used in Adobe's PostScript and PDF format.

       ascii85 is a command line utility, modeled after base64(1) from the GNU coreutils, can encode text files to Ascii85 or decode Ascii85 files
       to text, and then print the result to the standard output.

       If no file is given on the command line, ascii85 reads from the standard input.

OPTIONS

       -w, --wrap COLUMN
	   Wrap lines at COLUMN. Default is 80, use 0 for no wrapping

       -d, --decode
	   Decode the input

       -h, --help
	   Display a usage message and exit

       --version
	   Output version information

NAME

       base64 - base64 encode/decode data and print to standard output

SYNOPSIS

       base64 [OPTION] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

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

       -w, --wrap=COLS
	      Wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76).  Use 0 to disable line wrapping.

       -d, --decode
	      Decode data.

       -i, --ignore-garbage
	      When decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters.

       --help Display this help and exit.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.

       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

       The  data  are encoded as described for the base64 alphabet in RFC 3548.  Decoding require compliant input by default, use --ignore-garbage
       to attempt to recover from non-alphabet characters (such as newlines) in the encoded stream.
