<dd><p>Ascii85 encodes the given binary <i class="arg">string</i> and returns the encoded
result. Inserts the character <i class="arg">wrapchar</i> every <i class="arg">maxlen</i>
characters of output. <i class="arg">wrapchar</i> defaults to newline. <i class="arg">maxlen</i>
defaults to <b class="const">76</b>.</p>
<p><em>Note well</em>: If your string is not simple ascii you should fix
the string encoding before doing ascii85 encoding. See the examples.</p>
<p>The command will throw an error for negative values of <i class="arg">maxlen</i>,
or if <i class="arg">maxlen</i> is not an integer number.</p></dd>

The decoder ignores whitespace in the string, as well as tabs and
newlines.</p></dd>
