- Encode a file and print the result to `stdout`:
`uuencode {{path/to/input_file}} {{output_file_name_after_decoding}}`
- Encode a file and write the result to a file:
`uuencode -o {{path/to/output_file}} {{path/to/input_file}} {{output_file_name_after_decoding}}`
- Encode a file using Base64 instead of the default uuencode encoding and write the result to a file:
`uuencode -m -o {{path/to/output_file}} {{path/to/input_file}} {{output_file_name_after_decoding}}`
