[vset    encoding uuencode]
[include encoding/header.inc]

[para]

This encoding transforms every block of three bytes into a block of
four bytes, each of which is printable, i.e. 7bit ASCII. This implies
that the result is valid UTF-8 too.

The command uses essentially the same algorithm as for [cmd base64],
except for a different mapping from 6-bit fragments to printable
bytes.
