.TP
\fB\-\-base64\fR
same as 'base64' program (RFC4648 section 4)
.TP
\fB\-\-base64url\fR
file\- and url\-safe base64 (RFC4648 section 5)
.TP
\fB\-\-base32\fR
same as 'base32' program (RFC4648 section 6)
.TP
\fB\-\-base32hex\fR
extended hex alphabet base32 (RFC4648 section 7)
.TP
\fB\-\-base16\fR
hex encoding (RFC4648 section 8)
.TP
\fB\-\-base2msbf\fR
bit string with most significant bit (msb) first
.TP
\fB\-\-base2lsbf\fR
bit string with least significant bit (lsb) first
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-decode\fR
decode data
.TP
\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-ignore\-garbage\fR
when decoding, ignore non\-alphabet characters
.TP
