Redirecting output to a file

Using the redirection operator↴

./base_64 -d -i "U3RhciB0aGlzIHByb2plY3QgOiksIGl0IGJvb3N0cyBteSBlZ28u" > out.txt

Using the -o argument with a filename↴

./base_64 -d -f encoded -o out

Using the -o argument without a filename↴

./base_64 -e -f infile -o

ps: "-o" without a parameter uses the default filename 'base64Out'
