3 Reimplementation of [ferno][1]'s [`base1`][2] in C for UNIXoid shells.
7 * guaranteed to be compatible with __any__ character set, no matter how small
11 To generate the binary, run `make`. Then, copy the resulting `base1` binary to
12 a directory in your `$PATH`.
15 `base1` uses GNU's [`base64`][4] tool as a reference and therefore has similar
16 command line arguments. This means, you can either pipe data in or give a file
19 The non-standard parameter `-t` will return the length of the string to be
20 encoded, or warn if it will overflow.
22 ### 'Hello World'-Example:
23 Can't do: even on 64 bit machines the length of the resulting string will be
24 larger than `unsigned long long int`. I en- and decoded the string `Hallo` - it
27 echo -n "Hi" | ./base1 -w 0
29 will output 18794 `A`s.
32 `base1` is released under the GNU General Public License, version 3.
