Multibase converter

Command line tool for converting {to,from,between} multibase encodings.

Uses the multibase crate.

Usage

```bash echo -n "hey" | multibase base2

011010000110010101111001

multibase decode 011010000110010101111001

hey

echo -n 011010000110010101111001 | multibase decode

hey

```

Multibase does encode newlines.

```bash echo hey | multibase base58btc

z3fmoA9

echo -n hey | multibase base58btc

zc4oi

```

Multibase is strict about the input it accepts. It won't decode newlines unless they are valid parts of the input encoding.

```bash

this will fail because echo appends a '\n' character to its output

echo 011010000110010101111001 | multibase decode

try one of these instead

echo -n 011010000110010101111001 | multibase decode printf "%s" 011010000110010101111001 | multibase decode multibase decode 011010000110010101111001 ```

Installation

bash cargo install multibase-cli

Known issues

Multibase encodings with padding are not yet supported. To make them supported, rust-multibase must push recent changes to crates.io. https://github.com/multiformats/rust-multibase/issues/12

The identity encoding is not yet supported.
