base64Encode or decode a base64 string
An optional builtin to encode or decode a base64 string.
<stdin> -> base64 -> <stdout>
<stdin> -> !base64 -> <stdout>» out "Hello, World!" -> base64
SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQo=» out "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQo=" -> !base64
Hello, World!base64 is very simplistic - particularly when compared to its GNU coreutil (for example) counterpart. If you want to use the base64 binary on Linux or similar platforms then you will need to launch with the exec builtin:
» out "Hello, World!" -> exec base64
SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQo=
» out "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQo=" -> exec base64 -d
Hello, World!However for simple tasks this builtin will out perform external tools because it doesn’t require the OS fork processes.
