Flushes and closes (I think, in the superclass) the stream. @since 1.3

Writes the byte to the output stream after converting to/from Base64 notation. When encoding, bytes are buffered three at a time before the output str

Encodes up to the first three bytes of array <var>threeBytes</var> and returns a four-byte array in Base64 notation. The actual number of significant

Reads enough of the input stream to convert to/from Base64 and returns the next byte. @return next byte @since 1.3

Returns one of the _SOMETHING_DECODABET byte arrays depending on the options specified. It's possible, though silly, to specify ORDERED and URL_SAFE i

Method added by PHIL. [Thanks, PHIL. -Rob] This pads the buffer without closing the stream. @throws java.io.IOException if there's an error.

Low-level access to decoding ASCII characters in the form of a byte array. <strong>Ignores GUNZIP option, if it's set.</strong> This is not generally

Convenience method for reading a base64-encoded file and decoding it. <p/> <p>As of v 2.3, if there is a error, the method will throw an java.io.IOExc

Similar to {@link #encodeBytes(byte[])} but returns a byte array instead of instantiating a String. This is more efficient if you're working with I/O
