The Dos2unix package includes utilities "dos2unix" and "unix2dos" to convert plain text files in DOS or MAC format to UNIX format and vice versa.
  1. By default, it replaces the original file: 
    $ dos2unix base64_encoded.txt 
dos2unix: converting file base64_encoded.txt to UNIX format ...

  2. Use the -n switch to write the converted output to a new file: 
    $ dos2unix -n base64_encoded.txt unix_formatted.txt
dos2unix: converting file base64_encoded.txt to file unix_formatted.txt in UNIX format ...

  3. Using STDOUT (-) as output file does not work: 
    $ dos2unix -n base64_encoded.txt -

  4. Use input redirection to write to STDOUT: 
    $ dos2unix < base64_encoded.txt
