Base64 is an encoding that encodes three bytes into four characters, thereby increasing the size by about 33%. The alphabet used for encoding is very resistant to mangling during transit.
The following functions are defined by this library:
base64-encode-region
base64-encode-string
base64-decode-region
nil
and don't
modify the buffer.
base64-decode-string
nil
is returned.
