  • Encode a file and print the result to `stdout`:
    uuencode path/to/input_file output_file_name_after_decoding
  • Encode a file and write the result to a file:
    uuencode -o path/to/output_file path/to/input_file output_file_name_after_decoding
  • Encode a file using Base64 instead of the default uuencode encoding and write the result to a file:
    uuencode -m -o path/to/output_file path/to/input_file output_file_name_after_decoding
