+.Sh NAME
+.Nm uuencode ,
+.Nm uudecode
+.Nd encode/decode a binary file
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm uuencode
+.Op Ar file
+.Ar name
+.Nm uudecode
+.Op Ar file ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Uuencode
+and
+.Nm uudecode
+are used to transmit binary files over transmission mediums
+that do not support other than simple
+.Tn ASCII
+data.
+.Pp
+.Nm Uuencode
+reads
+.Ar file
+(or by default the standard input) and writes an encoded version
+to the standard output.
+The encoding uses only printing
+.Tn ASCII
+characters and includes the
+mode of the file and the operand
+.Ar name
+for use by
+.Nm uudecode .
+.Pp
+.Nm Uudecode
+transforms
+.Em uuencoded
+files (or by default, the standard input) into the original form.
+The resulting file is named
+.Ar name
+and will have the mode of the original file except that setuid
+and execute bits are not retained.
+.Nm Uudecode
+ignores any leading and trailing lines.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following example packages up a source tree, compresses it,
+uuencodes it and mails it to a user on another system.
+When
+.Nm uudecode
+is run on the target system, the file ``src_tree.tar.Z'' will be
+created which may then be uncompressed and extracted into the original
+tree.

+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr compress 1 ,
+.Xr mail 1 ,
+.Xr uucp 1 ,
+.Xr uuencode 5 ,
+.Xr format 5
+.Sh BUGS
+The encoded form of the file is expanded by 35% (3 bytes become 4 plus
+control information).
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.0 .
