basenc: Decode a file with base64 encoding.
$ basenc --decode --base64 ${filename}
try on your machine
This command uses the "basenc" utility to decode a base64 encoded file specified by the ${filename} variable.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "basenc" is the name of the utility being used.
- "--decode" is an option/flag that tells the utility to perform a decoding operation.
- "--base64" specifies the encoding type (base64) that is being used for the file.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the file you want to decode. It is a variable that needs to be replaced with the appropriate filename.
When you execute this command with the correct filename, the "basenc" utility will decode the base64 encoded file, and the resulting decoded data will be displayed in the output.
