DESCRIPTION

zarmour - armoured text encoding and decoding

The zarmour class implements encoding and decoding of armoured text data. The following codecs are implemented: * RFC 4648 (m[blue]http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4648.txtm[]) - base64 - base64url - base32 - base32hex - base16 * Z85 (m[blue]http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:32m[]) All RFC4648 base64 and base32 variants support padding the output. The pad character is configurable. Default is padding on, with character =. Additionally, in some cases (e.g. MIME), splitting the output into lines of a specific length is required. This feature is also supported, though turned off by default. The z85 mode does neither padding nor line breaks; it is merely a wrapping of the corresponding libzmq methods. Encoding will assert if input length is not divisible by 4 and decoding will assert if input length is not divisible by 5.
