- _U_u_e_n_c_o_d_e and _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e are used to transmit binary files
- over transmission mediums that do not support other than
- simple ASCII data.
-
- _U_u_e_n_c_o_d_e reads _f_i_l_e (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 _n_a_m_e for use by _u_u_d_e_-
- _c_o_d_e _.
-
- _U_u_d_e_c_o_d_e transforms uuencoded _f_i_l_e_s (or by default, the
- standard input) into the original form. The resulting
- file is named _n_a_m_e and will have the mode of the original
- file except that setuid and execute bits are not retained.
- _U_u_d_e_c_o_d_e ignores any leading and trailing lines.

- The following example packages up a source tree, com-
- presses it, uuencodes it and mails it to a user on another
- system. When _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e is run on the target system, the
- file ``src_tree.tar.Z'' will be created which may then be
- uncompressed and extracted into the original tree.

- The encoded form of the file is expanded by 35% (3 bytes
- become 4 plus control information).

- The _u_u_e_n_c_o_d_e command appeared in BSD 4.0.
