bk-wrap - (unknown subject)

NAME
bk wrap − using BitKeeper wrappers

DESCRIPTION
For various reasons, you may wish to wrap a patch which is transmitted through email. The typical reason is that the patch is going through some mailer which chops long lines or performs some other unwanted transformation on the data. Wrapping is typically done via the bk send interface with the −w option.

The following two commands produce identical data:

$ ls -1 | bk uuwrap | bk unuuwrap
$ ls -1

The current set of wrappers are:

b64 - wrap data using base 64 encoding
gzip_b64 - gzip the data and then base 64 encode the zipped data
gzip_uu - gzip the data and then uuencode the zipped data
uu - wrap the data using uuencode
