NAME
     base64 - base64 encode/decode data  and  print  to  standard
     output

SYNOPSIS
     base64 [OPTION]... [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
     Base64 encode or decode FILE, or standard input, to standard
     output.

     -d, --decode
          decode data

     -i, --ignore-garbage
          when decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters

     -w, --wrap=COLS
          wrap encoded lines after COLS character  (default  76).
          Use 0 to disable line wrapping

     --help
          display this help and exit

     --version
          output version information and exit

     With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

     The data are encoded as described for the base64 alphabet in
     RFC  3548.  When decoding, the input may contain newlines in
     addition to the bytes of the formal  base64  alphabet.   Use
     --ignore-garbage  to  attempt  to  recover  from  any  other
     non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream.
