CLI for Base64?

[BurdetteLamar]

I'm thinking of building a CLI for Base64 that would be a classic filter: take input from stdin and put output onto stdout. Later enhancements could add input from files (CL arguments).

Would this be useful?

The GNU base64 command has these options:

  -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 disable line wrapping

      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

Would those be the right ones for us?
