Encode binary files into ASCII for transport via mediums that only support simple ASCII encoding. More information: https://manned.org/uuencode.
- Encode a file and print the result to
stdout:
uuencode path/to/input_file output_file_name_after_decoding
- Encode a file and write the result to a file:
uuencode -o path/to/output_file path/to/input_file output_file_name_after_decoding
- Encode a file using Base64 instead of the default uuencode encoding and write the result to a file:
uuencode -m -o path/to/output_file path/to/input_file output_file_name_after_decoding
