NAME

       ns_uudecode, ns_uuencode - commands

SYNOPSIS

       ns_uudecode string

       ns_uuencode string
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       ns_uudecode performs HTTP-style uudecoding and returns the decoded value.

       ns_uuencode  performs  HTTP-style uuencoding and returns the encoding value.  The input string is limited
       to a maximum length of 48 characters.  The encoding string will be  approximately  33%  longer  than  the
       original.

       Note:  This  is  HTTP-style uuencoding/uudecoding which is sometimes called "htuu" (see RFC 1113).  It is
       not compatible with the format used by the Unix uuencode/uudecode commands, nor is it base-64 encoding.

       For   base-64   encoding,    consider    using    the    base64    Tcl    package    in    tcllib    (see
       http://tcllib.sourceforge.net).

EXAMPLES

        nscp> ns_uuencode username

        nscp> ns_uudecode dXNlcm5hbWU=
        username
