SYNOPSIS

base64- [[ --decode] [ --ignore-garbage]]|[ --wrap COLS] [FILE] |[ --help|--version]

DESCRIPTION

base64-(1f) encodes or decodes a a single file onto standard output.

The data is encoded as described for the base64-alphabet-encoding in
RFC 4648.
  When decoding, whitespace characters on input are ignored.
With no FILE, or when FILE is "-", data is read from standard input.

To ignore all bytes not in the formal base64 alphabet, use --ignore-garbage. This option will attempt to recover from any other non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream.
