sbase/uudecode.1
FRIGN 57dc7b94b0 POSIX 2013 audit
Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum,
wording changes and more idiomatic expressions.
All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools
with
.St -p1003.1-2013
which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which
reflects what we actually did, so who cares?

This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1.

.Dt UUDECODE 1
.Os sbase
.Sh NAME
.Nm uudecode
.Nd decode a uuencoded file
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl m
.Op Fl o Ar output
.Op Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
reads
.Ar file
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.
If no
.Ar file
is given
.Nm
reads from stdin.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl m
Use Base64 for decoding.
.It Fl o Ar output
Write to
.Ar output
rather than the file specified in the header.
.El
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
For safety uudecode operates on regular files and stdout only.
Trying to uudecode to a link, directory, or special file
yields an error.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr uuencode 1
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Nm
utility is compliant with the
.St -p1003.1-2013
specification.
.Pp
The
.Op Fl m
flag is an extension to that specification.
