To Quoted Printable

Category: Encoding

Status: Registered and callable in the CyberChef 11.3.0 compatibility inventory.

Input / output: ArrayBuffer → string

Background: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable

What it does

Quoted-Printable, or QP encoding, is an encoding using printable ASCII characters (alphanumeric and the equals sign ‘=’) to transmit 8-bit data over a 7-bit data path or, generally, over a medium which is not 8-bit clean. It is defined as a MIME content transfer encoding for use in email. QP works by using the equals sign ‘=’ as an escape character. It also limits line length to 76, as some software has limits on line length.

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Arguments and options

This operation takes no positional recipe arguments.

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = b"example"
args = []
result = bake(input_value, ['To Quoted Printable'])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = []
transform = Pipeline().then('To Quoted Printable')
result = transform(b"example")

Direct call

pychef.ops.run_operation runs any registered operation as a plain function, under the active ExecutionPolicy (safe defaults, no network):

from pychef.ops import run_operation

args = []
result = run_operation('To Quoted Printable', b"example", args=args)

Common operations also have typed helpers in Direct operations.

Low-level operation module

Warning

The module below is an internal implementation detail. It applies no execution policy, resource limits, or error sanitization; prefer bake(), Pipeline, or pychef.ops for application code.

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.to_quoted_printable. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.to_quoted_printable import run

result = run(b"example", tuple([]))

pychef.operations.by_operation.to_quoted_printable.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

value (str | bytes)
args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
