decode data
when decoding, ignore non-alphabetic characters
wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76, 0 to disable wrapping)
same as 'base64' program
file- and url-safe base64
same as 'base32' program
extended hex alphabet base32
hex encoding
bit string with least significant bit (lsb) first
bit string with most significant bit (msb) first
ascii85-like encoding; when encoding, input length must be a multiple of 4; when decoding, input length must be a multiple of 5
