Overview
Utilities are used to transmit binary files over transmission mediums that do not support other than simple ASCII data. They support the "traditional" uuencoding algorithm and the base64 method.
To Encode
uuencode -m -o transit.txt ./payload.json payload.json
Result:
begin-base64 644 payload.json ewogICJzcGVjIjoKICB7CiAgICAicmVwbGljYXMiOiIyIiwKICAgICJ0ZW1wbGF0ZSI6CiAgICB7 ... IH0KICAgICAgICBdCiAgICAgIH0KICAgIH0KICB9Cn0KCg== ====
To Decode
The uudecode utility ignores any leading (preceding "begin-base64") and trailing (following "====") lines.
uudecode ./transit.txt
