public class UUEncoder
extends CharacterEncoder
This class implements a Berkeley uu character encoder. This encoder was made famous by uuencode program. The basic character coding is algorithmic, taking 6 bits of binary data and adding it to an ASCII ' ' (space) character. This converts these six bits into a printable representation. Note that it depends on the ASCII character encoding standard for english. Groups of three bytes are converted into 4 characters by treating the three bytes a four 6 bit groups, group 1 is byte 1's most significant six bits, group 2 is byte 1's least significant two bits plus byte 2's four most significant bits. etc. In this encoding, the buffer prefix is: 
    begin [mode] [filename]
This is followed by one or more lines of the form: 
	(len)(data)(data)(data) ...
where (len) is the number of bytes on this line. Note that groupings are always four characters, even if length is not a multiple of three bytes. When less than three characters are encoded, the values of the last remaining bytes is undefined and should be ignored. The last line of data in a uuencoded file is represented by a single space character. This is translated by the decoding engine to a line length of zero. This is immediately followed by a line which contains the word 'end[newline]'
