bk-base64 - (unknown subject)


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.
