### 12`` Base 64: Encoding and Decoding

( require net/base64 )

The net/base64 library provides utilities for Base 64 (mime-standard) encoding and decoding.

#### 12.1`` Functions

( base64-encode bstr) → bytes?
bstr : bytes?

Consumes a byte string and returns its Base 64 encoding as a new byte string. The returned string is broken into 72-byte lines separated by CRLF combinations, and always ends with a CRLF combination unless the input is empty.

( base64-decode bstr) → bytes?
bstr : bytes?

Consumes a byte string and returns its Base 64 decoding as a new byte string.

( base64-encode-stream in out [newline-bstr]) → void?
in : input-port?
out : output-port?
newline-bstr : bytes? = #"\n"

Reads bytes from in and writes the encoded result to out, breaking the output into 72-character lines separated by newline-bstr, and ending with newline-bstr unless the input stream is empty. Note that the default newline-bstr is just #"\n", not #"\r\n". The procedure returns when it encounters an end-of-file from in.

( base64-decode-stream in out) → void?
in : input-port?
out : output-port?

Reads a Base 64 encoding from in and writes the decoded result to out. The procedure returns when it encounters an end-of-file or Base 64 terminator = from in.

#### 12.2`` Base64 Unit

( require net/base64-unit )

base64@ : unit?

Imports nothing, exports base64^.

#### 12.3`` Base64 Signature

( require net/base64-sig )

base64^ : signature

Includes everything exported by the net/base64 module.
