uuencode, uudecode - encode/decode a binary file for transmission via
mail

_U_u_e_n_c_o_d_e and _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e are used to transmit binary files over transmission
mediums that do not support other than simple ASCII data.
_U_u_e_n_c_o_d_e reads the named source file, _f_i_l_e, (or by default, the standard
input) and writes an encoded version to the standard output. Normally it
will be used as part of a pipeline, or with the output redirected to a
file, similar to this:
uuencode binarydatafile decoded_name | mail someuser
In this case, when the file is decoded with _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e after it is
received, it will be called ddddeeeeccccooooddddeeeedddd____nnnnaaaammmmeeee.
The encoding uses only printing ASCII characters, and includes the mode
of the file and the operand _n_a_m_e for use by _u_u_d_e_c_o_d_e.
_U_u_d_e_c_o_d_e transforms _u_u_e_n_c_o_d_e_d files (or by default, the standard input),
into the original form. The resulting file is named _n_a_m_e and will have
the mode of the original file except that setuid and execute bits are not
retained. _U_u_d_e_c_o_d_e ignores any leading and trailing lines.
The encoded file is ordinary text and can be edited by any text editor to
change the mode or the name.

The encoded form of the file is expanded by 35% (3 bytes become 4 plus
control information).
