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).
