MIMENCODE(1)                                         MIMENCODE(1)

NAME
       mimencode - Translate to and from mail-oriented encoding formats

       (Same program also installed as "mmencode".)

SYNOPSIS
       mimencode[-u] [-b] [-q] [-p] [file name] [-o outputfile]

DESCRIPTION
       The  mimencode  program simply converts a byte stream into (or out of) one of the standard
       mail encoding formats defined by MIME, the proposed standard for internet multimedia  mail
       formats.   Such  an  encoding  is necessary because binary data cannot be sent through the
       mail.  The encodings understood by mimencode are  preferable  to  the  use  of  the  uuen­
       code/uudecode  programs,  for  use in mail, in several respects that were important to the
       authors of MIME.
