.TH UUDECODE 1 sbase\-VERSION
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
uudecode \- decode a uuencoded file
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B uudecode
|
|
.RI [file]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B uudecode
|
|
reads file (or by default, the standard input) and writes a decoded
|
|
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 NOTES
|
|
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.
