.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm uuencode
|
|
.Nd format of an encoded uuencode file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Files output by
|
|
.Xr uuencode 1
|
|
consist of a header line,
|
|
followed by a number of body lines,
|
|
and a trailer line.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr uudecode 1
|
|
command
|
|
will ignore any lines preceding the header or
|
|
following the trailer.
|
|
Lines preceding a header must not, of course,
|
|
look like a header.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The header line is distinguished by having the first
|
|
6 characters
|
|
.Dq begin\ \&
|
|
(note the trailing space).
|
|
The word
|
|
.Em begin
|
|
is followed by a mode (in octal),
|
|
and a string which names the remote file.
|
|
A space separates the three items in the header line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The body consists of a number of lines, each at most 62 characters
|
|
long (including the trailing newline).
|
|
These consist of a character count,
|
|
followed by encoded characters,
|
|
followed by a newline.
|
|
The character count is a single printing character,
|
|
and represents an integer, the number of bytes
|
|
the rest of the line represents.
|
|
Such integers are always in the range from 1 to 45 or 64 and can
|
|
be determined by subtracting the character space (octal 40)
|
|
from the character.
|
|
Character 64 represents a count of zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, 6 bits per character.
|
|
All characters are always in range from 1 to 64 and are offset by a
|
|
space (octal 40) to make the characters printing. Character
|
|
64 represents a count of zero.
|
|
The last line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes.
|
|
If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined
|
|
by the value of the count on the last line.
|
|
Extra garbage will be included to make the character count a multiple
|
|
of 4.
|
|
The body is terminated by a line with a count of zero.
|
|
This line consists of one
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
backquote (octal 140) character.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The trailer line consists of
|
|
.Dq end
|
|
on a line by itself.
