NAME
b64encode - encodes a string given at STDIN to the
BASE64 format available on STDOUT
SYNOPSIS
b64encode [-u]
DESCRIPTION
b64encode
reads a series of '\n' terminated strings from STDIN
until all lines are processed and translates the input
into the BASE64 alfabet while respecting a maximum
line size of 76 chars on output as required by RFC 2045.
In case
-u
is supplied as argument, the BASE64 encoding is
done in an 'URL' style according to RFC 4648 ยง5.
The output is enhanced with a final '\n'.
Note: The entire input is read into memory.
