base32

base32

Base32 encoding and decoding, using the RFC 4648 alphabet ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz234567").

Usage

By default, encodes all input into base32 and outputs the result.

With -d/--decode, decodes all input from base32 and outputs the result.

With -x/--hex, expects hexadecimal input (or, if decoding, produce hexadecimal output).

Examples

$ echo hello | base32
nbswy3dpbi

$ echo af2c42003efc826ab4361f73f9d890942146fe0ebe806786f8e7190800000000 | base32 -x
