Hi, all.
May be a stupid question. enc64() returns a null terminated string. But dec64()
not doing the same. What is the reason for it?
Thanks.

enc: binary -> string
dec: string -> binary
binary is just an array of bytes, and there isn't a special terminating
value

You're right. I use base64 to mask a white space symbols in strings and i
completely forgot about the main base64 purpose :-).
Thank you!
