-This module perform base64 encoding and decoding of arbitrary binary
-strings into text strings that can be safely emailed or posted. The
-encoding scheme is defined in \rfc{1421} (``Privacy Enhancement for
-Internet Electronic Mail: Part I: Message Encryption and
-Authentication Procedures'', section 4.3.2.4, ``Step 4: Printable
-Encoding'') and is used for MIME email and
-various other Internet-related applications; it is not the same as the
-output produced by the \program{uuencode} program. For example, the
-string \code{'www.python.org'} is encoded as the string
-\code{'d3d3LnB5dGhvbi5vcmc=\e n'}.

-\begin{funcdesc}{decode}{input, output}
-Decode the contents of the \var{input} file and write the resulting
-binary data to the \var{output} file.
-\var{input} and \var{output} must either be file objects or objects that
-mimic the file object interface. \var{input} will be read until
-\code{\var{input}.read()} returns an empty string.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{decodestring}{s}
-Decode the string \var{s}, which must contain one or more lines of
-base64 encoded data, and return a string containing the resulting
-binary data.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{encode}{input, output}
-Encode the contents of the \var{input} file and write the resulting
-base64 encoded data to the \var{output} file.
-\var{input} and \var{output} must either be file objects or objects that
-mimic the file object interface. \var{input} will be read until
-\code{\var{input}.read()} returns an empty string.

-\begin{funcdesc}{encodestring}{s}
-Encode the string \var{s}, which can contain arbitrary binary data,
-and return a string containing one or more lines of
-base64 encoded data.
