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.

.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.
|
|

|
|
Use Base64 for decoding.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar output
|
|

|
|
rather than the file specified in the header.

.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.
