About:
Uudeview is a smart decoder for the uuencode and xxencode formats, capable of handling multi-part and multi-file archives commonly found in Usenet and email systems. It automatically scans input files to locate and reconstruct encoded content without requiring manual file splitting or concatenation. The tool simplifies the recovery of original binary files from text-based transport formats.
Key Features:
  • Automatic detection of encoded sections within text files
  • Support for multi-part and multi-file archives
  • Handles uuencode, xxencode, and binhex formats
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Use Cases:
  • Decoding binary files from Usenet newsgroup posts
  • Reconstructing split email attachments
  • Batch processing of encoded files in scripts
Alternatives:
  • uudecode – Standard Unix tool that handles single-part files; Uudeview is more robust for multi-part archives.
  • munpack – Part of the mpack/multipart tools; focuses on MIME attachments rather than uuencode.
