BASE91(1) basE91 BASE91(1) NAME base91, b91enc, b91dec - basE91 encode/decode data SYNOPSIS base91 [OPTION]... [FILE] DESCRIPTION Convert binary data in FILE to plain ASCII text (or vice versa), writ- ing to standard output. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. -d, --decode decode data (default for b91dec); all non-alphabet characters (such as newlines) are ignored -m SIZE use maximum SIZE bytes of main memory for buffers (default 64K); SIZE may be followed by a multiplicative suffix: K 1024, M 1024*1024 -o, --output=FILE write result to FILE instead of standard output -v, --verbose run in verbose mode and write some statistics to standard error; use it twice to increase verbosity -w, --wrap=COLS wrap encoded lines after COLS characters (default 76); use 0 to disable line wrapping (default for b91enc) --help prints out the available program options --version output version information and exit basE91 is an advanced method for encoding binary data as ASCII charac- ters. It is similar to UUencode or base64, but is more efficient. The overhead produced by basE91 depends on the input data. It amounts at most to 23% (versus 33% for base64) and can range down to 14%, which typically occurs on 0-byte blocks. This makes basE91 very useful for transferring larger files over binary insecure connections like e-mail or terminal lines. AUTHOR Written by Joachim Henke.
