Name
mimencode
Synopsis
mimencode [options] [filename] [-o output_file]
mimencode [ options] [filename] [-o output_file]
Description
Translate to and from MIME encoding formats, the proposed standard for Internet multimedia mail formats. By default, mimencode reads standard input and sends a base64-encoded version of the input to standard output.
Options
- -b
Use the (default) base64 encoding.
- -o output_file
Send output to the named file rather than to standard output.
- -p
Translate decoded CRLF sequences into the local newline convention during decoding and do the reverse during encoding; meaningful only when the default base64 encoding is in effect.
- -q
Use the quoted-printable encoding instead of base64.
- -u
Decode the standard input rather than encode it.
