BASE64(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual BASE64(1)
NAME
base64 - base64 encode/decode data into the standard output
SYNOPSIS
base64 [-di] [-w wrap] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
base64 reads from the standard input or from each file argument, and
encodes or decodes data based on the base64 scheme described in RFC 3548
into the standard output.
The following options are available:
-d Decode the input instead of encoding it.
-i Ignore non-base64 characters when decoding. (not implemented)
-w wrap Wrap lines longer than wrap characters using a newline. The
default number of characters is 76. 0 disables wrapping.
EXIT STATUS
base64 exits with 0 if there was no error and non-zero if it could not
encode or decode, printing an error message.
HISTORY
The base64 command first appeared on NetBSD 9.
