Base64: Encode and Decode Base64 Files |
 | | By default, upon encountering a non white space character which does not belong to the base64 set, or discovering the input file is incorrectly padded to a multiple of four characters, base64 issues an error message and terminates processing with exit status 1. |
 | | base64 returns status 0 if processing was completed without errors, 1 if an I/O error occurred or errors were detected in decoding a file which indicate it is incorrect or incomplete, and 2 if processing could not be performed at all due, for example, to a nonexistent input file. |
 | | This is inherent in the design of base64, which assumes transmission integrity is the responsibility of a higher-level protocol. |
