::base32::hex::encode string


::base32::hex::decode estring












This package provides commands for encoding and decoding of
    strings into and out of the extended hex base32 encoding as specified in the
    RFC 3548bis draft.









  
::base32::hex::encode string

  
This command encodes the given string in extended hex base32 and
      returns the encoded string as its result. The result may be padded with
      the character = to signal a partial encoding at the end of the
      input string.

  
::base32::hex::decode estring

  
This commands takes the estring and decodes it under the assumption
      that it is a valid extended hex base32 encoded string. The result of the
      decoding is returned as the result of the command.
    
Note that while the encoder will generate only uppercase
        characters this decoder accepts input in lowercase as well.

    
The command will always throw an error whenever encountering
        conditions which signal some type of bogus input, namely if

  







  
[1]

  
the input contains characters which are not valid output of a extended hex
      base32 encoder,

  
[2]

  
the length of the input is not a multiple of eight,

  
[3]

  
padding appears not at the end of input, but in the middle,

  
[4]

  
the padding has not of length six, four, three, or one characters,












The code map used to convert 5-bit sequences is shown below, with
    the numeric id of the bit sequences to the left and the character used to
    encode it to the right. The important feature of the extended hex mapping is
    that the first 16 codes map to the digits and hex characters.
