Building

To generate the binary, run make.
If you want long options (e.g. --decode), enable -DLONG_OPT. To automatically run the included tests, run make test. (will rebuild)
You can copy the resulting base65536 file to a directory in your $PATH.

Usage

base65536 uses GNU's base64 tool as a reference and therefore has the same command line arguments. This means, you can either pipe data in or give a file as an argument.

'Hello World'-Example:

echo -n "Hello World" | ./base65536

will output:
