Subject: [PATCH proxmox v2 2/8] serde: add base64 module for byte arrays
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 15:35:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260213143601.1424613-3-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260213143601.1424613-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com>

Allows to directly en-/decode [u8; N] to/from a base64 string, much like
the already existing bytes_as_base64 allows for Vec<u8>.
