This isn't even remotely clever, but printf() and some base64 encoding
should work fine for a one-off experiment. There *is* a limit to how
much you can print before you fill up the dmesg; if insufficient, try
compiling with a CONFIG.MP_LARGEBUF like this:
---
include "arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC.MP"
option MSGBUFSIZE=131072
---
You may wish to look at misc/ent.
