- _U_u_e_n_c_o_d_e and _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e are used to send a binary file via
- uucp (or other) mail. This combination can be used over
- indirect mail links even when _u_u_s_e_n_d(1C) is not available.
-
- _U_u_e_n_c_o_d_e takes the named source file (default standard
- input) and produces an encoded version on the standard
- output. The encoding uses only printing ASCII characters,
- and includes the mode of the file and the _r_e_m_o_t_e_d_e_s_t for
- recreation on the remote system.
-
- _U_u_d_e_c_o_d_e reads an encoded file, strips off any leading and
- trailing lines added by mailers, and recreates the original
- file with the specified mode and name.
-
- The intent is that all mail to the user ``decode'' should be
- filtered through the uudecode program. This way the file is
- created automatically without human intervention. This is
- possible on the uucp network by either using _s_e_n_d_m_a_i_l or by
- making _r_m_a_i_l be a link to _M_a_i_l instead of _m_a_i_l. In each
- case, an alias must be created in a master file to get the
- automatic invocation of uudecode.
-
- If these facilities are not available, the file can be sent
- to a user on the remote machine who can uudecode it
- manually.
-
- The encode file has an ordinary text form and can be edited
- by any text editor to change the mode or remote name.

- The file is expanded by 35% (3 bytes become 4 plus control
- information) causing it to take longer to transmit.
-
- The user on the remote system who is invoking _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e
- (often _u_u_c_p) must have write permission on the specified
- file.
