The UUDeview Decoding Library

Frank Pilhofer

Abstract:

The UUDeview library is a highly portable set of functions that provide facilities for decoding uuencoded, xxencoded, Base64 and BinHex-Encoded files as well as for encoding binary files into all of these representations except BinHex. This document describes how the features of encoding and decoding can be integrated into your own applications.

The information is intended for developers only, and is not required reading material for end users. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the general issue of encoding and decoding and has some experience with the ``C'' programming language.

This document describes version 0.5, patchlevel 18 of the library.
