# b64s - Base64 with UTF-8 str input and output

The [`b64s`
module](https://github.com/EliahKagan/b64s/blob/main/b64s/__init__.py) provides
two simple functions, `encode` and `decode`, that thinly wrap functionality
from the [`base64` module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/base64.html) in
the standard library, so that:

- All arguments and return values are `str`.
- UTF-8 encoding is assumed and used.
