byt

Encode and decode various byte encodings.

Examples

For example, if you have the hex string 4f33 and would like to base64-encode the bytes [0x4f, 0x33] rather than the ASCII/UTF-8 characters '4', 'f', etc., you could run the following:

shell $ byt -r hex -R base64 4f33 TzM=

To avoid padding the result and/or only use URL-safe characters, use the --url-safe and --no-padding flags:

shell $ byt -r hex -R base64 --url-safe --no-padding 4f33 TzM

Installation

Ensure you have a rust toolchain available, clone this repository, and run make install.
