ns_uuencode(3)
NAME
ns_uudecode, ns_uuencode - commands
SYNOPSIS
ns_uudecode string ns_uuencode string
DESCRIPTION
- ns_uudecode performs HTTP-style uudecoding and returns the
- decoded value.
- ns_uuencode performs HTTP-style uuencoding and returns the
- encoding value. The input string is limited to a maximum length
- of 48 characters. The encoding string will be approximately 33%
- longer than the original.
- Note: This is HTTP-style uuencoding/uudecoding which is
- sometimes called "htuu" (see RFC 1113). It is not compatible
- with the format used by the Unix uuencode/uudecode commands, nor
- is it base-64 encoding.
- For base-64 encoding, consider using the base64 Tcl pack
- age in tcllib (see http://tcllib.sourceforge.net).
