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
To Decode
The uudecode utility ignores any leading (preceding "begin-base64") and trailing (following "====") lines.
