Multibase converter

Command line tool for converting {to,from,between} multibase encodings.

Uses the multibase crate.

Usage

echo -n "hey" | multibase base2
# 011010000110010101111001

multibase decode 011010000110010101111001
# hey

echo -n 011010000110010101111001 | multibase decode
# hey

Multibase does encode newlines.

echo hey | multibase base58btc
# z3fmoA9

echo -n hey | multibase base58btc
# zc4oi

Multibase is strict about the input it accepts. It won't decode newlines unless they are valid parts of the input encoding.

# this will fail because echo appends a '\n' character to its output
echo 011010000110010101111001 | multibase decode

# try one of these instead
echo -n 011010000110010101111001 | multibase decode
printf "%s" 011010000110010101111001 | multibase decode
multibase decode 011010000110010101111001

Installation

cargo install multibase-cli

Known issues

Multibase encodings with padding are not yet supported. To make them supported, rust-multibase must push recent changes to crates.io. https://github.com/multiformats/rust-multibase/issues/12

The identity encoding is not yet supported.
