.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
This program can either encode a file with Base64 encoding suited for
|
|
|
|
|
inclusion of binary data into text files such as XML files and decode
|
|
|
|
|
Base64 encoded data back into its original form. The first argument
|
|
|
|
|
controls whether \fBbase64tool\fR will encode or decode. The second
|
|
|
|
|
argument is name of the file that data is read from. The third
|
|
|
|
|
argument is the name of the file that output is written to. The file
|
|
|
|
|
will be overwritten if it exists.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
When encoding an optional fourth parameter, \fImaxlen\fR, specifies
|
|
|
|
|
the maximum line length to output. It defaults to 72 if left out.
