uudecode(1)

NAME
uudecode - decode a file created by uuencode

SYNOPSIS
uudecode [ file ]...

DESCRIPTION
Uudecode transforms uuencoded file (or by default, the standard input) into the original form, attempting to retain the mode (except for setuid bits) of the original file. If a file of the same name exists, the file will have a sequence number appended to it to avoid conflicts. Uudecode ignores any leading and trailing lines.

SEE ALSO
ravel(1), unravel(1)

HISTORY
The uudecode command appeared in BSD 4.0.

This implementation of uudecode is implemented within the unravel(1) program.
