Synopsis
encode(infile
,outfile
,name
='-',mode
=0666)
Reads file-like object infile
, by calling
infile
.read
(for a few
bytes at a time—the amount of data that UU encodes into a
single output line) until end of file (i.e, until a call to
infile
.read
returns an
empty string). Then it encodes the data thus read in UU, and writes
the encoded text to file-like object
outfile
. encode
also
writes a UU begin
line before the encoded text,
and a UU end
line after the encoded text. In the
begin
line, encode
specifies
the filename as name
and the mode as
mode
.
