**Encoding Note:** The serialized JSON and YAML values of secret data are encoded as

base64 strings. Newlines are not valid within these strings and must be

omitted (i.e. do not use `-b` option of `base64` which breaks long lines.)

**Encoding Note:** The serialized JSON and YAML values of secret data are

encoded as base64 strings. Newlines are not valid within these strings and must

be omitted. When using the `base64` utility on Darwin/OS X users should avoid
|

using the `-b` option to split long lines. Conversely Linux users *should* add
|

the option `-w 0` to `base64` commands.
