BASENC(1)                   General Commands Manual                  BASENC(1)

NAME
       basenc - Encode/decode data and print to standard output With no FILE,
       or when FILE is -, read standard input.

       When decoding, the input may contain newlines in addition to the bytes
       of the formal alphabet. Use --ignore-garbage to attempt to recover from
       any other non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream.

SYNOPSIS
       basenc [OPTION]... [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
       Encode/decode data and print to standard output With no FILE, or when
       FILE is -, read standard input.

       When decoding, the input may contain newlines in addition to the bytes
       of the formal alphabet. Use --ignore-garbage to attempt to recover from
       any other non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream.

OPTIONS
       -d, --decode
              decode data

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

       -w, --wrap <COLS>
              wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76, 0 to
              disable wrapping)

       --base64
              same as 'base64' program

       --base64url
              file- and url-safe base64

       --base32
              same as 'base32' program

       --base32hex
              extended hex alphabet base32

       --base16
              hex encoding

       --base2lsbf
              bit string with least significant bit (lsb) first

       --base2msbf
              bit string with most significant bit (msb) first

       --z85  ascii85-like encoding; when encoding, input length must be a
              multiple of 4; when decoding, input length must be a multiple of
              5

       --base58
              visually unambiguous base58 encoding

       -h, --help
              Print help

       -V, --version
              Print version

       [file]
