.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.
