base64encode

base64encode(writefunc, args...) base64encode(args...)

Given a write-like function writefunc, which takes an I/O stream as its first argument, base64(writefunc, args...) calls writefunc to write args... to a base64-encoded string, and returns the string. base64(args...) is equivalent to base64(write, args...): it converts its arguments into bytes using the standard write functions and returns the base64-encoded string.

Examples

Encode a string to base64 using a custom write function:
```
julia> function my_write(stream, data)
          write(stream, uppercase(data))
      end
julia> base64encode(my_write, "hello world")
"SEVMTE8gV09STEQ="
```
This example defines a custom write-like function my_write that converts the input data to uppercase before writing it to the stream. The base64encode function then uses my_write to encode the string "hello world" to base64.
Encode binary data to base64 using the default write function:
```
julia> base64encode([0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04])
"AQIDBA=="
```
The base64encode function can directly encode binary data, such as an array of bytes, using the default write function.
Encode multiple arguments to base64 using the default write function:
```
julia> base64encode(1, "two", 3.0)
"MQp0d28="
```
It can encode multiple arguments by converting them to bytes using the default write function and then base64-encoding the resulting bytes.

Common mistake example:

julia> base64encode("hello world")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching base64encode(::String)

In this example, the mistake is providing a single argument of type String instead of using a write-like function as the first argument. The base64encode function expects a write-like function as the first argument, not a direct input string.
