# base64.sh: Bash implementation of Base64 encoding and decoding.
#

#
# Encode or decode original Base64 (and also Base64url)
#+ from STDIN to STDOUT.
#
# Usage:
#
# Encode
# $ ./base64.sh < binary-file > binary-file.base64
# Decode
# $ ./base64.sh -d < binary-file.base64 > binary-file
#
# Reference:
#
# [1] RFC4648 - "The Base16, Base32, and Base64 Data Encodings"
#  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-5
# The base64_charset[] array contains entire base64 charset,
# and additionally the character "=" ...

# Uncomment the ### line below to use base64url encoding instead of
#+ original base64.
