- Field Detail
  - MIME_CHUNK_SIZE
```
public static final int MIME_CHUNK_SIZE
```
    MIME chunk size per RFC 2045 section 6.8.
    The 76 character limit does not count the trailing CRLF, but counts all other characters, including any equal signs.

  - PEM_CHUNK_SIZE
```
public static final int PEM_CHUNK_SIZE
```
    PEM chunk size per RFC 1421 section 4.3.2.4.
    The 64 character limit does not count the trailing CRLF, but counts all other characters, including any equal signs.
    
    See Also:
    RFC 1421 section 4.3.2.4, Constant Field Values
  - MASK_8BITS
```

  - PAD
```
protected final byte PAD
```
    See Also:
    Constant Field Values
  - lineLength
```
protected final int lineLength
```
    Chunksize for encoding. Not used when decoding. A value of zero or less implies no chunking of the encoded data. Rounded down to nearest multiple of encodedBlockSize.
  - buffer
```
protected byte[] buffer
```
    Buffer for streaming.
  - pos
```
protected int pos
```
    Position where next character should be written in the buffer.
  - eof
```
protected boolean eof
```
    Boolean flag to indicate the EOF has been reached. Once EOF has been reached, this object becomes useless, and must be thrown away.
  - currentLinePos
```
protected int currentLinePos
```
    Variable tracks how many characters have been written to the current line. Only used when encoding. We use it to make sure each encoded line never goes beyond lineLength (if lineLength > 0).
  - modulus
```
protected int modulus
```
    Writes to the buffer only occur after every 3/5 reads when encoding, and every 4/8 reads when decoding. This variable helps track that.
