NAME
base64 -- Encode and decode using Base64 representation
SYNOPSIS
base64 [-h | -D] [-b count] [-i input_file] [-o output_file]
DESCRIPTION
base64 encodes and decodes Base64 data, as specified in RFC 4648. With no options, base64 reads raw data from stdin and writes encoded data as a continuous block to stdout.
OPTIONS
The following options are available: -b count --break=count Insert line breaks every count characters. Default is 0, which generates an unbroken stream. -D --decode Decode incoming Base64 stream into binary data. -h --help Print usage summary and exit. -i input_file --input=input_file Read input from input_file. Default is stdin; passing - also represents stdin. -o output_file --output=output_file Write output to output_file. Default is stdout; passing - also represents stdout.
