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), writing 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 dis- able 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 characters. 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.
