🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to the BtoA(1) manual — it's the PKI Binary to ASCII Conversion Tool page, and we're gonna get you comfy with it. 💅

The NAME bit is literally this: BtoA - Convert binary base-64 encoded data to ASCII base-64 encoded data. No cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

BtoA input-file output-file

Two args, both mandatory. Main character energy only. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so BtoA provides a command-line utility — a whole little tool — used to convert binary base-64 encoded data into ASCII base-64 encoded data. It's giving encoding glow-up, periodt. 🎀

💖 OPTIONS 💖

The following parameters are mandatory — yes, both of them, bestie, no skipping:

  • lt;input-filegt; — specifies the path to the file which contains the base-64 encoded binary data. This is your source file, the one you're reading from. 🗂️
  • lt;output-filegt; — specifies the path to the file where the utility should write the ASCII output. This is where the result goes. 💾

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

This example command takes the base-64 binary data in the binary_data.der file and writes the ASCII equivalent of the data to the ascii_data.pem file. Iconic. Watch:

$ BtoA binary_data.der ascii_data.pem
