πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

bk wrap βˆ’ using BitKeeper wrappers

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so for various reasons, you may wish to wrap a patch that’s being transmitted through email β€” and yes, there are lots of reasons, no cap. The typical one is that the patch is going through some mailer that chops long lines or performs some other unwanted transformation on the data 😭. Wrapping is typically done via the bk send interface with the βˆ’w option. Slay.

The following two commands produce identical data, fr fr:

$ ls ‐1 | bk uuwrap | bk unuuwrap
$ ls ‐1

The current set of wrappers is giving:

  • b64 β€” wrap data using base 64 encoding πŸ’…
  • gzip_b64 β€” gzip the data and then base 64 encode the zipped data πŸŽ€
  • gzip_uu β€” gzip the data and then uuencode the zipped data πŸ¦‹
  • uu β€” wrap the data using uuencode 🌸
