-.Dt UUENCODE 5
-.Os BSD 4
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm uuencode
-.Nd format of an encoded uuencode file
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-Files output by
-.Xr uuencode 1
-consist of a header line,
-followed by a number of body lines,
-and a trailer line.
-The
-.Xr uudecode 1
-command
-will ignore any lines preceding the header or
-following the trailer.
-Lines preceding a header must not, of course,
-look like a header.
-.Pp
-The header line is distinguished by having the first
-6 characters
-.Dq begin\ \&
-(note the trailing space).
-The word
-.Em begin
-is followed by a mode (in octal),
-and a string which names the remote file.
-A space separates the three items in the header line.
-.Pp
-The body consists of a number of lines, each at most 62 characters
-long (including the trailing newline).
-These consist of a character count,
-followed by encoded characters,
-followed by a newline.
-The character count is a single printing character,
-and represents an integer, the number of bytes
-the rest of the line represents.
-Such integers are always in the range from 0 to 63 and can
-be determined by subtracting the character space (octal 40)
-from the character.
-.Pp
-Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, 6 bits per character.
-All are offset by a space to make the characters printing.
-The last line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes.
-If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined
-by the value of the count on the last line.
-Extra garbage will be included to make the character count a multiple
-of 4.
-The body is terminated by a line with a count of zero.
-This line consists of one
-.Tn ASCII
-space.
-.Pp
-The trailer line consists of
-.Dq end
-on a line by itself.
