NAME
cn, -- Command line interface to CommonNumerics routines.
SYNOPSIS
cn, [-p prompt] [command] [command_options] [command_args]
DESCRIPTION
A simple command line utility allowing you to perform CRC and Base Encode/Decode with the Common Numerics functions. cn, has the following standard options for all sub-commands: -h Show help information. -a Use the specified algorithm. The CRC, Encode, and Decode commands have various algorithms that can be used on data provided to them. -s -<string> Performs the operation on the specified string value. -v Function in Verbose mode.
CN COMMAND SUMMARY
cn, currently only provides functions for two activities: CRC calculation and Base Encoding and Decoding (base16, base32, base64). Here are brief descriptions of all the cn, commands: crc Perform a CRC on the data provided either as a string or on stdin.

Algorithms 1 - kCNEncodingBase64 2 - kCNEncodingBase32 3 - kCNEncodingBase32Recovery 4 - kCNEncodingBase32HEX 5 - kCNEncodingBase16
ENVIRONMENT
CN_READ_SIZE The "read size" to use when processing incoming data. CN_WIDTH The number of columns in which to output data when performing a base encoding. The default is 64 columns.
HISTORY
cn, was introduced in Mac OS X version 10.9 and iOS version 7.0. Darwin June 2, 2019 Darwin
