64.Sh DESCRIPTION 65The 66.Nm 67and 68.Nm uudecode 69utilities are used to transmit binary files over transmission mediums 70that do not support other than simple 71.Tn ASCII 72data. |
73The 74.Nm b64encode 75utility is synonymous with 76.Nm 77with the 78.Fl m 79flag specified. 80The 81.Nm b64decode 82utility is synonymous with 83.Nm uudecode . |
84.Pp 85The 86.Nm 87utility reads 88.Ar file 89(or by default the standard input) and writes an encoded version 90to the standard output, or 91.Ar output_file --- 105 unchanged lines hidden --- |
