Uuencode - Uudecode manualDESCRIPTION
Uuencode and uudecode are used to transmit binary files
over transmission mediums that do not support other than
simple ASCII data.
Uuencode reads file (or by default the standard input) and
writes an encoded version to the standard output. The
encoding uses only printing ASCII characters and includes
the mode of the file and the operand name for use by uude-
code.
Uudecode transforms uuencoded files (or by default, the
standard input) into the original form. The resulting
file is named name and will have the mode of the original
file except that setuid and execute bits are not retained.
Uudecode ignores any leading and trailing lines.
Reference file = rgb.gif UuencodeUuencode syntax: uuencode file_to_be_encoded encoded_file > output_file NOTE: The file_to_be_encoded and the encoded_file can be the same name. EXAMPLE: uuencode rgb.gif rgb.gif > rgbfxr UUdecodeUudecode syntax: uudecode output_file NOTE: This created a file with the name in the output_file.
You can view the encoded file name by issuing the command head outputfile EXAMPLE: uudecode output_file Note: The file rgb.gif will be decoded. ApplicationYou want to encode a binary file and attach it to an E-Mail for an individual who does not have a MIME mail client.
You can encode the file and the recipent can decode the attached file and now have the original binary file. back
