NAME

       uuencode, uudecode - Encodes or decodes a binary file

SYNOPSIS

       uuencode [file] remotefile

       uudecode [file...]

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       uudecode:  XCU5.0

       uuencode:  XCU5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION

       The  uuencode and uudecode commands are used to send a binary file via uucp or other mail.  This combination can be used over indirect mail
       links even when uusend is not available.

       The uuencode command takes the named file (default standard input) and produces an encoded version on the  standard  output.  The  encoding
       uses  only  printing  ASCII  characters,  and includes the mode of the file and the name for re-creation on the remote system, specified by
       remotefile.

       The uudecode command reads an encoded file, strips off any leading and trailing lines added by mailers, and  recreates  the  original  file
       with the specified mode and name.  Filter the encode through the uudecode program.  Filtering the file causes the original file to be auto-
       matically recreated. This is possible on the uucp network by using sendmail or by making rmail be a link to mailx. In each case,  an  alias
       must be created in a master file to get the automatic invocation of uudecode.

       If  neither  of	the preceding facilities is available on a user's system, uudecode can be applied to the file manually by editing the file
       with any text editor, removing the trailing and leading lines, and changing the mode or remote system name. The encoded file is an ordinary
       text file.

EXAMPLES

       In the following example, the ex1 file is encoded; the output is also redirected to the ex1.out file: prompt> uuencode ex1 ex1.en > ex1.out

	      If the source ex1 file is as follows:

	      This example shows how to encode a file using uuencode and how to decode a file using uudecode.

	      The encoded ex1.out file would be as follows:

	      begin		      644		    ex1.en		     M5&AI<R!E>&%M<&QE('-H;W=S"G1H92!H;W<@=&@96YC;V1E"F$@9FEL92!U
	      M<VEN9PIU=65N8V]D90IA;F0@:&]W('1O"F1E8V]D92!A(&9I;&4*=7-I;F<@ *=75D96-O9&4N"F]D ` end In the following example, the ex1.out file	is
	      decoded: prompt> uudecode ex1.out

	      In  this	example, the uudecode command decodes the file and puts the output in ex1.en.  To package up a source tree using tar, com-
	      press it, uuencode it, and mail it to a user on another system, enter: tar cf - src_tree | compress | uuencode src_tree.tar.Z	 |
	      mail sys1!sys2!user1

	      (Enter the command entirely on one line, not on two lines as shown above.)

	      When uudecode is run on the target system, the src_tree.tar.Z file is created; it may then be uncompressed and dearchived with tar.
