## Signature

```> decode base32hex {flags} ```

## Flags

 -  `--nopad`: Reject input with padding.


## Input/output types:

| input  | output |
| ------ | ------ |

## Examples

Decode arbitrary binary data
```nu
> "ATNAQ===" | decode base32hex
Length: 3 (0x3) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000:   57 6e ad                                             Wn×

```

Decode an encoded string
```nu
> "D1KG====" | decode base32hex | decode

```

Parse a string without padding
```nu
> "ATNAQ" | decode base32hex --nopad
Length: 3 (0x3) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000:   57 6e ad                                             Wn×
