Base64 Command line Utility
24 Jan, 2004
Thrown together in PHP.
Usage:
| Encode | /path/to/base64 -e 'The quick brown fox' /path/to/base64 'The quick brown fox' |
| Decode | /path/to/base64 -d VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveA== |
| Help | /path/to/base64 -h |
Note that the script output is not succeeded by a newline, the reason being that I don't want to have to trim a newline every time I call this script from somewhere else.
