Description Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-18 01:21:37 UTC
codegroup - encode / decode binary file as five letter codegroups

For decades, spies have written their encoded messages in groups of five letters.

codegroup  encodes  any  binary  file  into this form, allowing it to be transmitted through any medium, and decodes files containing codegroups into the original input. Encoded files contain a 16-bit cyclical redundancy check (CRC) and file size to verify, when decoded, that the message is complete and correct. Files being decoded may contain other information before and after the codegroups, allowing in-the-clear annotations to be included. 

Reproducible: Always
