short_description: Decode a base64 string
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 }}"``.
