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 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4648.txt) - base64 -
base64url - base32 - base32hex - base16 * Z85 (http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:32) 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.
