automatically collapsed into a single string.
base64_encode(bin, linebreaks = FALSE)
base64_decode(text)
Arguments
- bin
raw or character vector with data to encode into base64
- linebreaks
insert linebreaks in the base64 message to make it more readable
- text
string with base64 data to decode
Examples
input <- charToRaw("foo = bar + 5")
message <- base64_encode(input)
output <- base64_decode(message)
identical(output, input)
#> [1] TRUE
