Description

Base64 decoding function.

The return value is a string.

Trying to store a binary blob in a string most likely corrupts the binary. To base64 decode a binary blob, use the ``base64`` command and pipe the encoded data through standard input. For example, in the ansible.builtin.shell`` module, ``cmd="base64 --decode > myfile.bin" stdin="{{ encoded }}"``.

    description: A base64 string to decode.
