integer-to-base64-string

Arguments: integer &optional (column 52)

Takes the integer specified by the integer, assumes it is a base64 encoding, and converts it to a base64 string. If column is non-nil, its value must be a positive integer and newlines are inserted in the string each time that number of characters is output. If column is nil, no newlines are inserted.

The function base64-string-to-integer converts a base64 string (the output of this function) back to an integer.

Here is an example:

cl-user(2): (integer-to-base64-string #xfeedfacefeedface)
"/u36zv7t+s4="
cl-user(3): (base64-string-to-integer "/u36zv7t+s4=")
18369614222061337294
cl-user(4): (format t "~x" *)
feedfacefeedface
nil
cl-user(5):
