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

.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
2015-03-17 19:10:36 -04:00
|
|
|
For safety uudecode operates on regular files and stdout only.
|
|
|
|
|
Trying to uudecode to a link, directory, or special file
|
2015-02-13 06:37:17 -05:00
|
|
|
yields an error.
