DECODE(1)                    GregOS Manual                    DECODE(1)

NAME
       decode - convert hex or base64 to ASCII

SYNOPSIS
       decode --hex <string>
       decode --b64 <string>

DESCRIPTION
       decode takes a string of hex digits or a base64-encoded
       string and prints the ASCII representation to standard
       output. Each pair of hex digits is treated as one byte.
       Input that is not valid hex or base64 will produce an
       error.

OPTIONS
       --hex   Read input as hexadecimal. Each pair of characters
               (0-9, a-f) is converted to one ASCII character.
               For example, 41 = "A", 7a = "z".

       --b64   Read input as base64.

EXAMPLES
       $ decode --hex 48656c6c6f
       Hello

       $ decode --hex 4f4b
       OK
