NAME
       base32 - base32 encode/decode data and print to standard output

SYNOPSIS
       base32 [OPTION]... [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
       Base32 encode or decode FILE, or standard input, to standard output.

       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -d, --decode
	      decode data

       -i, --ignore-garbage
	      when decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters

       -w, --wrap=COLS
	      wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76).  Use 0 to disable line wrapping

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       The data are encoded as described for the base32 alphabet in RFC 4648.  When decoding, the input may contain newlines
       in  addition  to	 the bytes of the formal base32 alphabet.  Use --ignore-garbage to attempt to recover from any other
       non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream.
