You are probably asking on the wrong list, as findutils does not provide
any such function.  Are you asking about something that can safely
transmit a binary file over an ascii email connection?  If so, sharutils
includes uuencode for this purpose.  Or are you asking for a simple hex
dump?  od, which is part of coreutils, can be used for this.
