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 file name that was specified when the file was encoded. When the -o option is specified, the file name 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.

If the path name 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.
