mimencode linux command

mimencode

mimencode [options] [filename] [-o output_file]

mimencode [options] [filename] [-o output_file]

Translate to and from MIME encoding formats, the proposed standard for Internet multimedia mail formats. By default, mimencode reads standard input and sends a base64-encoded version of the input to standard output.

Options

-b

Use the (default) base64 encoding.

-o output_file

Send output to the named file rather than to standard output.

-p

Translate decoded CRLF sequences into the local newline convention during decoding and do the reverse during encoding; meaningful only when the default base64 encoding is in effect.

-q

Use the quoted-printable encoding instead of base64.

-u

Decode the standard input rather than encode it.
