z-base-32 - human-oriented base-32 encoding

Golang pacakge which implements base32 encoding of binary data according to http://philzimmermann.com/docs/human-oriented-base-32-encoding.txt.

Note: this is NOT RFC4648 or RFC3548. If you need to be compatible to one of those RFCs, use encoding/base32.

This package:

• follows the example of encoding/base32;
• supports encoding and decoding of byte arrays;
• supports encoding and decoding using io.Writer and io.Reader interfaces.
• provides a shell command which behaves similar to the BSD base64 command.

Based on the work from github.com/tv42/zbase32 by Tommi Virtanen.

Command line utilities

Included is a simple command-line utility for encoding/decoding data.

Example:

$ echo "Hello world" | zbase32
jb1sa5dxrb5s6huccofy
$ echo -n jb1sa5dxrb5s6huccofy | zbase32 --decode 
Hello world
$ printf '\x01binary!!!1\x00' | zbase32
yftg15ubqjh1nejbgryy
$ echo -n yftg15ubqjh1nejbgryy | zbase32 --decode | hexdump -C
00000000  01 62 69 6e 61 72 79 21  21 21 31 00              |.binary!!!1.|
