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
        dXNlcm5hbWU=

        nscp> ns_uudecode dXNlcm5hbWU=
        username
