Base 64 encoding of byte string or vector
res = base64encode( encodes V)V
using base 64 encoding and returns the encoded characters as a string. For more
information, see RFC 4648 — Section 4, Base 64 Encoding. Base 64 encoding is used
in some contexts in internet messages where data must be transmitted in a limited
set of ASCII characters. Use base64encode to encode strings
containing special characters that might be misinterpreted as control characters by
the transmission protocol. base64encode can encode arbitrary
binary data.
If V is a string or character vector, base64encode first
converts it to bytes using the user default encoding. To use a different
character encoding, call the MATLAB® unicode2native function
to convert V to a uint8 vector
before passing it to base64encode.
