I'm trying to uuencode some data, but uuencode doesn't seem to work
properly. I'm using FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p22. Here are some examples:
$ date | uuencode
usage: uuencode [-m] [-o outfile] [infile] remotefile
b64encode [-o outfile] [infile] remotefile
$ cat /etc/rc.conf | uuencode
usage: uuencode [-m] [-o outfile] [infile] remotefile
b64encode [-o outfile] [infile] remotefile
$
Specifying a filename, rather than using a pipe, doesn't seem to work
either:
$ uuencode file
begin 644 file
After printing the begin line it idles. A debug copy of uuencode run
with gdb shows the program stopping on the read() call trying to get
data (fread() called from the while loop in encode()).
Anyone know why?
