NAME
       uue, uuencode - encode a binary file to ASCII (e.g., for mailing)

SYNOPSIS
       uue [-n] file [-]

OPTIONS
       -n   # How many lines to put in each file

EXAMPLES
       uue file		   # Encode file to file.uue

       uue file - >x	   # Encode file and write on stdout

       uue -800 file	   # Output on file.uaa, file.uab etc.

DESCRIPTION
       Uuencode	 is  a	famous	program	 that  converts	 an arbitrary (usually
       binary) file to an encoding using only 64 ASCII	characters.   Uudecode
       converts	 it  back  to the original file.  The uue and uud programs are
       the MINIX 3 versions of these programs, and  are	 compatible  with  the
       UNIX  ones.  The files produced can even be sent successfully over BIT‐
       NET, which is notorious for mangling files.  It is possible to have uue
       automatically  split the encoded file up into small chunks.  The output
       files then get the suffixes .uaa, .uab, etc., instead  of  .uue.	  When
       uud  is	given file.uaa to decode, it automatically includes the subse‐
       quent pieces.  The encoding takes 3 bytes (24 bits) from the input file
       and renders it as 4 bytes in the output file.
