func:ioToBase64

ioToBase64(handle, opts: null)

Encode an I/O handle into a base64 string. The default behavior is to encode using RFC 2045 (see Buf.toBase64). Use the {uri} option to encode a URI-safe URI via RFC 4648 (see Buf.toBase64Uri). Also see ioFromBase64().

Example:

// encode string to base64
ioToBase64("myusername:mysecret")

// encode string to base64 without padding using URI safe chars
ioToBase64("myusername:mysecret", {uri})
