Base64 Encode

Description

Encodes a character string, raw vector or other object to base64 encoding.

Usage

base64enc(x, convert = TRUE)

Arguments

x	an object.
convert	[default TRUE] logical TRUE to encode to a character string or FALSE to a raw vector.

Details

A character string or raw vector (with no attributes) is encoded as is, whilst all other objects are first serialized (using R serialisation version 3, big-endian representation).
