NAME
bk base64 − RFC 1341 base64 encoding and decoding
SYNOPSIS
bk base64 [−d]
DESCRIPTION
The bk base64 command is a filter that encodes
arbitrary data from stdin to a ASCII format that only uses
the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, /, +, = and newline to encode
the data. This data can easily be emailed without being
mangled. If the −d option is passed then the
encoding is unpacked to the original data.
OPTIONS
−d Decode base64 data to the original byte
stream.
