				The
				.Nm base64
				utility acts as a base64 decoder when passed the
				.Fl -decode
				.Po or
				.Fl d
				.Pc
				flag and as a base64 encoder otherwise.
				As a decoder it only accepts raw base64 input
				and as an encoder it does not produce the framing lines.
				.Nm base64
				reads standard input or
				.Ar file
				if it is provided and writes to standard output.
