+.Sh NAME
+.Nm uuencode
+.Nd format of an encoded uuencode file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Files output by
+.Xr uuencode 1
+consist of a header line,
+followed by a number of body lines,
+and a trailer line.
+The
+.Xr uudecode 1
+command
+will ignore any lines preceding the header or
+following the trailer.
+Lines preceding a header must not, of course,
+look like a header.
+.Pp
+The header line is distinguished by having the first
+6 characters
+.Dq begin\ \&
+(note the trailing space).
+The word
+.Em begin
+is followed by a mode (in octal),
+and a string which names the remote file.
+A space separates the three items in the header line.
+.Pp
+The body consists of a number of lines, each at most 62 characters
+long (including the trailing newline).
+These consist of a character count,
+followed by encoded characters,
+followed by a newline.
+The character count is a single printing character,
+and represents an integer, the number of bytes
+the rest of the line represents.
+Such integers are always in the range from 0 to 63 and can
+be determined by subtracting the character space (octal 40)
+from the character.
+.Pp
+Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, 6 bits per character.
+All are offset by a space to make the characters printing.
+The last line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes.
+If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined
+by the value of the count on the last line.
+Extra garbage will be included to make the character count a multiple
+of 4.
+The body is terminated by a line with a count of zero.
+This line consists of one
+.Tn ASCII
+space.
+.Pp
+The trailer line consists of
+.Dq end
+on a line by itself.
