uuencode (GNU sharutils) - encode a file into email friendly text Usage: uuencode [ -<flag> | --<name> ]... [<in-file>] <output-name> -m, --base64 convert using base64 -e, --encode-file-name encode the output file name -v, --version[=MODE] output version information and exit -h, --help display extended usage information and exit -!, --more-help extended usage information passed thru pager -R, --save-opts[=FILE] save the option state to a config file FILE -r, --load-opts=FILE load options from the config file FILE - disabled with '--no-load-opts' - may appear multiple times Options are specified by doubled hyphens and their name or by a single hyphen and the flag character. The following option preset mechanisms are supported: - reading file $HOME/.sharrc 'uuencode' is used to create an ASCII representation of a file that can be sent over channels that may otherwise corrupt the data. Specifically, email cannot handle binary data and will often even insert a character when the six character sequence "\nFrom " is seen. 'uuencode' will read 'in-file' if provided and otherwise read data from standard in and write the encoded form to standard out. The output will begin with a header line for use by 'uudecode' giving it the resulting suggested file 'output-name' and access mode. If the 'output-name' is specifically '/dev/stdout', then 'uudecode' will emit the decoded file to standard out. 'Note': 'uuencode' uses buffered input and assumes that it is not hand typed from a tty. The consequence is that at a tty, you may need to hit Ctl-D several times to terminate input.
