NAME

       gmime-uuencode - encode a binary file to a text stream

SYNOPSIS

       gmime-uuencode [options] [ file ] name

DESCRIPTION

       gmime-uuencode  encodes	file  to  a  text  stream and emits that stream to standard output.  If file is not indicated on the command line,
       gmime-uuencode reads from standard input instead.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      display help and exit

       -v, --version
	      display version and exit

       -m, --base64
	      use RFC1521 base64 encoding

NAME

       uuencode - UU-encode/decode binary data

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8

       package require uuencode  ?1.1.4?

       ::uuencode::encode string

       ::uuencode::decode string

       ::uuencode::uuencode ?-name string? ?-mode octal? (-file filename | ?--? string)

       ::uuencode::uudecode (-file filename | ?--? string)

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a Tcl-only implementation of the uuencode(1) and uudecode(1) commands. This encoding packs binary data into printable
       ASCII characters.

       ::uuencode::encode string
	      returns the uuencoded data. This will encode all the data passed in even if this is longer than the uuencode maximum line length. If
	      the number of input bytes is not a multiple of 3 then additional 0 bytes are added to pad the string.

       ::uuencode::decode string
	      Decodes  the  given  encoded data. This will return any padding characters as well and it is the callers responsibility to deal with
	      handling the actual length of the encoded data. (see uuencode).

       ::uuencode::uuencode ?-name string? ?-mode octal? (-file filename | ?--? string)

       ::uuencode::uudecode (-file filename | ?--? string)
	      UUDecode a file or block of data. A file may contain more than one embedded file so the result is a list where  each  element  is  a
	      three element list of filename, mode value and data.

OPTIONS

       -filename name
	      Cause the uuencode or uudecode commands to read their data from the named file rather that taking a string parameter.

       -name string
	      The  uuencoded  data header line contains the suggested file name to be used when unpacking the data. Use this option to change this
	      from the default of "data.dat".

       -mode octal
	      The uuencoded data header line contains a suggested permissions bit pattern expressed as an octal string. To change the  default	of
	      0644 you can set this option. For instance, 0755 would be suitable for an executable. See chmod(1).

EXAMPLES

       % set d [uuencode::encode "Hello World!"]
       2&5L;&\@5V]R;&0A

       % uuencode::uudecode $d
       Hello World!

       % set d [uuencode::uuencode -name hello.txt "Hello World"]
       begin 644 hello.txt
       +2&5L;&@5V]R;&0`
       `
       end

       % uuencode::uudecode $d
       {hello.txt 644 {Hello World}}
