|
|
|
version to the file specified in the uuencoded header. In case that
|
|
|
|
|
the file already exists, it is truncated. Otherwise a new file is
|
|
|
|
|
created. After the operation the permissions of the created/accessed
|
|
|
|
|
are changed to reflect the mode in the header.

.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
2014-02-02 19:08:22 +00:00
|
|
|
This version of uudecode does not currently support the base64
|
|
|
|
|
encoding algorithm.
|
|
|
|
|
For safety currently uudecode operates only on regular files and
|
|
|
|
|
stdout. Trying to uudecode to a link, directory, or special file
|
|
|
|
|
yields an error.
