💖 GOLF(2gg) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the GOLF(2gg) manual page ✨ this is the development corner of the golf docs and today's main character is decode-base64. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

decode-base64 — it's giving (base64) 💅

🎯 PURPOSE ✨

Base64 decode. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🩷 SYNTAX 🩷

decode-base64 <data> to <output data> \
    [ input-length <input length> ]

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so decode-base64 takes the string <data> and decodes it into <output data>, and lowkey the glow-up is real because <output data> can absolutely be a binary string 💖

if the input-length clause is used, then <input length> is the number of bytes decoded. no input-length? then the entirety of <data> gets decoded, periodt 🌸

the result is stored in <output data> (in the to clause). no cap 👑

and now the detail that saves your whole life, bestie: the string you're decoding can have whitespaces before it (like spaces or tabs, we love a dramatic entrance 🙈) and whitespaces and new lines after it, and all of those get straight-up ignored for the purpose of decoding. iconic behaviour, honestly 🧚

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

See encode-base64. go peek, i'll wait 🍓
