🌸 NAME 🌸

jose-b64-dec — decodes URL-safe Base64 data to binary

Like yes, that's it, that's the job. She decodes. URL-safe Base64 in, binary out. Slay. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

jose b64 dec -i B64 [-O BIN]

That's the shape of it — you give her the Base64 (-i B64), and she may write the binary out somewhere (-O BIN), if you're feeling generous with your flags. 🫶

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe check: the jose b64 dec command decodes URL-safe Base64 data into binary format. That's it. That's the tea. ☕✨

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

Every single flag, present and accounted for, because we do not gatekeep:

• -i FILE, --base64=FILE — read your Base64 (URL-safe, bestie, URL-safe) data from FILE 📂
• -i -, --base64=- — read that Base64 (URL-safe) data from standard input instead 🫧
• -O FILE, --binary=FILE — write the binary data out to FILE 🗂️
• -O -, --binary=- — or write the binary data to standard output, which is honestly the main character move 🌟

---

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

Decode a simple message — look at her go:

$ echo SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkCg | jose b64 dec -i-
Hello, World

The way that SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkCg just becomes Hello, World?? Ate. Absolutely ate. 🔥
