basenc: Encode a file with base64 encoding.
$ basenc --base64 ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "basenc --base64 ${filename}" is essentially used to encode the contents of a file to base64 format.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "basenc" is the name of a command-line utility that provides functions for encoding and decoding data in different formats.
- "--base64" is an option or flag provided to the "basenc" command. In this case, it specifies that the encoding should be done using the base64 algorithm.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for a specific filename. You should replace it with the name of the file you want to encode.
So, when you run this command with a valid filename, it will read the contents of the file, encode it using base64, and display the encoded output in the terminal or command prompt.
