.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Ascii85 (also called \*(L"Base85\*(R") is a form of binary-to-text encoding, which is
mainly used in Adobe's PostScript and \s-1PDF\s0 format.
.PP
\&\fBascii85\fR is a command line utility, modeled after \fIbase64\fR\|(1) from the \s-1GNU\s0
coreutils, can encode text files to Ascii85 or decode Ascii85 files to text,
and then print the result to the standard output.
.PP
If no file is given on the command line, \fBascii85\fR reads from the standard input.
