  Uuencode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uuencode is a form of ASCII armor that originated as a Unix program for encoding binary data for transmission over the uucp mail system.
Since uucp converted characters between various computer's character sets, uuencode was used to convert the data to fairly common characters that were unlikely to be "translated" and thereby destroy the file.
Uuencode repeatedly takes in a group of three bytes, adding trailing zeros if there are less than three bytes left.

Uuencode started out as a Unix program for encoding binary data as ASCII.
Uuencode was originally used with uucp to transfer binary files over serial lines which did not preserve the top bit of characters but is now used for sending binary files by e-mail and posting to usenet newsgroups etc. The program uudecode reverses the effect of uuencode, recreating the original binary file exactly.

Uuencode and Uudecode are used to transmit files over transmission mediums that do not support other than simple ASCII data.
The encoded output of uuencode is sent to the standard output.
Uuencode should take the remote file name to be the same as the source file if one is not given.

 Penn Engineering - CETS Answers - How do I use uuencode for a certain file?
Uuencode always reads from stdin (standard input) and writes to stdout (standard output).
The " < " and " > " characters determine whether stdin and stdout are the keyboard, the screen, or regular files.
So, when using uudecode, the name of the file is stored in the header line of the uuencoded file.

 uuencode(1): encode binary file - Linux man page
The uuencode utility shall write an encoded version of the named input file, or standard input if no file is specified, to standard output.
Since this utility is intended to create files to be used for data interchange between systems with possibly different codesets, and to represent binary data as a text file, the ISO/IEC 646:1991 standard was chosen for a midpoint in the algorithm as a known reference point.
The historical uuencode algorithm does not share this property, which is the reason that a second algorithm was added to the ISO POSIX-2 standard.

 uuencode   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The uuencode utility writes an encoded version of the named input file, or standard input if no file is specified, to standard output.
The output is encoded using the algorithm described in the STDOUT section and includes the file access permission bits (in chmod octal or symbolic notation) of the input file and the decode_pathname, for re-creation of the file on another system that conforms to this specification.
Similarly, files processed by uuencode can be placed in pax archives, intermixed with other text files in the same codeset.

 Manual page for uuencode(1C)
uuencode converts a binary file into an encoded representation that can be sent using mail(1).
The decode_pathname is included in the encoded file's header as the name of the file into which uudecode is to place the binary (decoded) data.
uuencode also includes the permission modes of source-file, (except setuid, setgid, and sticky-bits), so that decode_pathname is recreated with those same permission modes.

Uuencode reads file (or by default the standard input) and writes an encoded version to the standard output.
The encoding uses only printing ASCII characters and includes the mode of the file and the operand name for use by uude code.
When uudecode is run on the target system, the file `src_tree.tar.Z' will be created which may then be uncompressed and extracted into the original tree.

 LEARN THE NET: Glossary: UUencode/UUdecode
UUencode/UUdecode is a software utility that converts a binary file (often a photo or a graphic) to an ASCII (text) file so that it can be sent as an attachment to an e-mail message or downloaded from a newsgroup.
Since e-mail messages must be text, not binary information, UUencode disguises non-text files as text so that they can be included in a mail message.
When the message is received, the recipient, or their e-mail program, runs UUdecode to convert it to the original file.

 Uuencode - a Whatis.com definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Uuencode (also called Uuencode/Uudecode) is a popular utility for encoding and decoding files exchanged between users or systems in a network.
If you're sending e-mail with an attachment and you suspect your recipient(s) may not have a MIME-compliant system (for example, an older PC or UNIX system), you may want to specify "Uuencode" for the attachment to an e-mail note.
Basically, what Uuencode does is to translate or convert a file or e-mail attachment (it can be an image, a text file, or a program) from its binary or bit-stream representation into the 7-bit ASCII set of text characters.

 Encoding Email Attachments - Encode, MIME, Binhex, Uuencode, AppleDouble
There are a number of more or less standard encoding methods, including MIME, uuencode, BinHex, and AppleDouble (Mac version of MIME).
Uuencode was one of the earliest encoding standards, first developed on the Unix BSD operating system.
For many years there was no other standards document defining uuencode, which led to incompatible implementations until later versions were generally built to be compliant with the POSIX standard P1003.2b/D11, later IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.

The uuencode format was designed for a similar purpose as PGP's radix-64 ASCII transport armor format described in the "Sending Ciphertext Through E-mail Channels: Radix-64 Format" section, but not as good.
Uuencode has its problems, such as 1) several slightly incompatible character sets for different versions of uuencode in the MSDOS and Unix worlds, and 2) the data can be corrupted by some E-mail gateways that strip trailing blanks or do other modifications to the character set used by uuencode.
PGP may be used in a manner that offers the same general features as uuencode, and then some.
