PEM(8)									PEM(8)

NAME
       pemdecode, pemencode - encode files in Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) for‐
       mat

SYNOPSIS
       auth/pemdecode section [ file ]

       auth/pemencode section [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
       PEM is a textual encoding for binary data originally used by  the  Pri‐
       vacy  Enhanced  Mail  program  but now commonly used for other applica‐
       tions, notably TLS.  PEM	 encodes  data	in  base  64  (see  encode(2))
       between lines of the form:

	      -----BEGIN SECTION-----
	      -----END SECTION-----

       where  SECTION may be any string describing the encoded data.  The most
       common use of PEM format on Plan 9 is for encoding X.509	 certificates;
       see rsa(8).

       Pemdecode  extracts  the	 named	section and writes the decoded data to
       standard output.

       Pemencode encodes its standard input,  labels  it  as  a	 section,  and
       writes it to standard output.

EXAMPLES
       Encode and decode a simple greeting:

	      % echo hello world |
		   auth/pemencode GREETING
	      -----BEGIN GREETING-----
	      aGVsbG8gd29ybGQK
	      -----END GREETING-----
	      % echo hello world |
		   auth/pemencode GREETING |
		   auth/pemdecode GREETING
	      hello world
	      %
