Encode a binary file
uuencode [file] [encoded_name] > [output.txt]
Encode using base64
uuencode -m [file] [encoded_name]
Encode from stdin
cat [file] | uuencode [encoded_name]
Encode and email a file
uuencode [file] [file] | mail -s "Subject" [user@example.com]
Compress and encode
gzip -c [file] | uuencode [file.gz]
说明
uuencode encodes binary files into ASCII text for transmission over channels that only support text, such as email or older network protocols. The encoded output includes the file mode and name for reconstruction by uudecode. By default, uuencode uses traditional UU encoding (Unix-to-Unix encoding). The -m option enables base64 encoding, which is more widely used in modern systems. UU encoding expands file size by approximately 37%, while base64 expands by 35%. The output format includes a header line with file permissions and name, encoded data lines, and a termination line.
参数
- -m
- Use base64 encoding instead of traditional UU encoding.
