Name
encode
Synopsis
encode(infile
,outfile
)
Reads binary-file-like object infile
, by
calling infile
.read
(for a few bytes at a time—the amount of data that Base 64
encodes into a single output line) until end of file (i.e, until a
call to infile
.read
returns an empty string). Then it encodes the data thus read in Base
64, and writes the encoded text as lines to text-file-like object
outfile
. encode
appends
\n
to each line of text it emits, including the
last one.
