--base32hex: extended hex alphabet base32

--base16: hex encoding

--base2lsbf: bit string with least significant bit (lsb) first

--base2msbf: bit string with most significant bit (msb) first

--z85: ascii85-like encoding; when encoding, input length must be a multiple of 4; when decoding, input length must be a multiple of 5

--base58: visually unambiguous base58 encoding

-h, --help: Print help

-V, --version: Print version
