NAME¶
uufilter - decode uuencoded files to stdout
SYNOPSIS¶
uufilter [-f
outfilename] [-l] [-s] [-v] [
infilename]
DESCRIPTION¶
Uufilter is a "smart" uuencoded file decoder that can
optionally dump the file to stdout.
If no filename is supplied, input is read from stdin.
Uufilter automatically ignores lines that do not appear to be part of the
uuencoded file. This is particularly useful in uudecoding files that have been
concatenated from several email or news postings without stripping off the
headers or otherwise editing extraneous content.
OPTIONS¶
- -f filename
- Dump output to filename rather than the name
specified in the uuencoded file.
- -l
- Lenient mode. This is useful if passed through a mailer
that adds trailing spaces.
- -s
- Dump output to stdout rather than to the filename indicated
in the uuencoded file.
- -v
- Verbose mode; talks about what's going on.
