BASE32(1)			  User Commands 		       BASE32(1)

NAME
     base32 - base32 encode/decode data and print to standard output

SYNOPSIS
     base32 [OPTION]... [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
     Base32 encode or decode FILE, or standard input, to standard output.

     With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

     Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

     -d, --decode
	    decode data

     -i, --ignore-garbage
	    when decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters

     -w, --wrap=COLS
	    wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76).  Use 0 to dis-
	    able line wrapping

     --help
	    display this help and exit

     --version
	    output version information and exit

     The  data	are  encoded  as  described for the base32 alphabet in RFC 4648.
     When decoding, the input may contain newlines in addition to the  bytes  of
     the  formal  base32  alphabet.   Use --ignore-garbage to attempt to recover
     from any other non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream.
