octave: Base64 and Binary Data Transmission
36.4.3 Base64 and Binary Data Transmission
------------------------------------------
Some transmission channels can not accept binary data. It is customary
to encode binary data in Base64 for transmission and to decode the data
upon reception.
-- : S = base64_encode (X)
Encode a double matrix or array X into the base64 format string S.
See also: base64_decode XREFbase64_decode.
-- : X = base64_decode (S)
-- : X = base64_decode (S, DIMS)
Decode the double matrix or array X from the base64 encoded string
S.
The optional input parameter DIMS should be a vector containing the
dimensions of the decoded array.
