UUE (.enc, .uue)

Unix uuencoding format.
Encodes binary data as a sequence of printable ASCII characters.
Commonly used for the transmission of binary content by email.
The name uuencode is derived from Unix-to-Unix encoding.
ASCII format.
Uses printable ASCII characters to encode binary data.
IMPORT AND EXPORT
  • Import imports a uuencoded .ext file.
  • Export exports an expression to a uuencoded .ext file.
  • Import decodes a uuencoded file and imports its contents as an expression, automatically inferring the format from the file contents.
  • The import format can be given explicitly with Import.
  • Import imports the specified element from a uuencoded .ext file.
  • Import imports multiple elements.
  • The import format and file encoding can be explicitly specified with Import.
  • Export creates a uuencoded .ext file by treating expr as specifying element elem.
  • Export treats each as specifying the corresponding .
  • Export exports expr with the specified option elements taken to have the specified values.
  • Export uses rules to specify the elements to be exported.
  • The export format and file encoding can be explicitly specified with Export.
  • See the reference pages for full general information on Import and Export.
