# = base64.rb: methods for base64-encoding and -decoding stings
#
# Author:: Yukihiro Matsumoto
# Documentation:: Dave Thomas and Gavin Sinclair
#
# Until Ruby 1.8.1, these methods were defined at the top-level. Now
# they are in the Base64 module but included in the top-level, where
# their usage is deprecated.
#
# See Base64 for documentation.

require "kconv"
# The Base64 module provides for the encoding (#encode64) and decoding
# (#decode64) of binary data using a Base64 representation.
#
# The following particular features are also provided:
# - encode into lines of a given length (#b64encode)
# - decode the special format specified in RFC2047 for the
# representation of email headers (decode_b)
#
# == Example
#
# A simple encoding and decoding.
#
# require "base64"
#
# enc = Base64.encode64('Send reinforcements')
# # -> "U2VuZCByZWluZm9yY2VtZW50cw==\n"
# plain = Base64.decode64(enc)
# # -> "Send reinforcements"
#
# The purpose of using base64 to encode data is that it translates any
# binary data into purely printable characters. It is specified in
# RFC 2045 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html).

# the character sets ISO-2022-JP and SHIFT_JIS (so the only two
# encoded word sequences recognized are =?ISO-2022-JP?B?...= and
# =?SHIFT_JIS?B?...=). Recognition of these sequences is case
# insensitive.
