Exit Values
uudecode [-o outfile] [infile...]
uudecode decodes data that was encoded by uuencode. If an infile is specified on
the command line, uudecode decodes that file; if no infile is specified on the
command line, input is read from the standard input. Output is written to the
filename that was specified when the file was encoded. When the -o option is
specified, the filename that was specified when the file was encoded is overridden
by the outfile operand. See uuencode for more information.
uudecode automatically strips off any leading and trailing lines added by mailers.
For a summary of the UNIX03 changes to this command, see Appendix N, “UNIX
shell commands changed for UNIX03,” on page 943.
-o outfile
A pathname of a file is used instead of any pathname contained in the input
data. Specifying an outfile option-argument of /dev/stdout indicates
standard output is used.
uudecode uses the following localization environment variables:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
v LC_CTYPE
v LC_MESSAGES
v NLSPATH
See Appendix F for more information.
If the pathname of the file to be produced exists and is writable, the file is
overwritten. If it exists, but is not writable by the user, uudecode will end with an
error.
0 Successful completion
1 Failure due to any of the following:
v Inability to open the input file
v Missing begin line in the input file
v Inability to create the output file
v Missing end line in the input file
v A file that is too short
2 Failure because of an incorrect command-line option
