uuencoding's Introduction

uuencoding

uuencoding is an old encoding mechanism that stands for unix-to-unix encoding. Essentially, since all the printing characters only require six bits to express their integer value a file can be compressed substantially by shifting the bits across boundaries, discarding the unused high bits, and only sending the six low bits. This also is a strategy to keep the files being transfered safe since they may pass through non-unix environments which are not 8-bit clean, and could become corrupt or modified on their way to the reciever.

This is a reimplementation of uuencoding done personally for educational reasons. The idea for this challenge came from r/dailyprogrammer.

This was actualy quite a fun project to undertake because it was my first multi-threaded program.

Compilation

Run ./autogen.sh in your shell, and omit the install step.
