@opindex --base64
Encode into (or decode from with @option{-d/--decode}) base64 form.
The format conforms to

Equivalent to the @command{base64} command.
@item --base64url
Encode into (or decode from with @option{-d/--decode}) file-and-url-safe
base64 form (using @samp{_} and @samp{-} instead of @samp{+} and @samp{/}).
The format conforms to
-@uref{https://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc4648#section-5, RFC 4648#5}.

@item --base32
@opindex --base32
Encode into (or decode from with @option{-d/--decode}) base32 form.
The encoded data uses the @samp{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567=} characters.

Equivalent to the @command{base32} command.
@item --base32hex
Encode into (or decode from with @option{-d/--decode}) Extended Hex Alphabet
base32 form. The encoded data uses the
@samp{0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV=} characters. The format conforms to

@item --base16
@opindex --base16
Encode into (or decode from with @option{-d/--decode}) base16 (hexadecimal)
form. The encoded data uses the @samp{0123456789ABCDEF} characters. The format
conforms to

@item --base2lsbf
@opindex --base2lsbf
Print base64-encoded digests not hexadecimal.
This option is ignored with @option{--check}.

@opindex extproc
Enable @samp{LINEMODE}, which is used to avoid echoing
each character over high latency links. See also

than a @samp{T} separates dates from times, and a period rather than
a comma separates seconds from subseconds.
