The uuencode utility reads file (or by default the standard input) and writes an encoded version to the standard output, or output_file if one has been specified. The encoding uses only printing ASCII characters and includes the mode of the file and the operand name for use by uudecode.
The uudecode utility transforms uuencoded files (or by default, the standard input) into the original form. The resulting file is named either name or (depending on options passed to uudecode) output_file and will have the mode of the original file except that setuid and execute bits are not retained. The uudecode utility ignores any leading and trailing lines.
The following options are available for uuencode:
| |
Use the Base64 method of encoding, rather than the traditional uuencode algorithm. | |
| |
Produce raw output by excluding the initial and final framing lines. | |
| |
Output to output_file instead of standard output. | |
The following options are available for uudecode:
| |
Decode more than one uuencoded file from file if possible. | |
| |
Do not overwrite files. | |

When used with the

Output to output_file instead of any pathname contained in the input data. | |
| |
Decode file and write output to standard output. | |
| |
Decode raw (or broken) input, which is missing the initial and
possibly the final framing lines.
The input is assumed to be in the traditional
uuencode
encoding, but if the

Do not strip output pathname to base filename. By default uudecode deletes any prefix ending with the last slash '/' for security reasons. | |
