Uudecode transforms uuencoded files (or by default, the standard input) into the original form. The resulting file is named name (or outfile if the -o option is given) and will have the mode of the original file except that setuid and execute bits are not retained.
uudecode — decode a binary file. SYNOPSIS top. uudecode [-o outfile] [file] DESCRIPTION top. The uudecode utility shall read a file, or standard input if no file is specified, that includes data created by the uuencode utility.
uudecode - decode an encoded file SYNOPSIS uudecode [-flag [value]]... [--opt-name[[=| ]value]]... [<file>...] If no file(s) are provided, then standard input is decoded. DESCRIPTION uudecode transforms uuencoded files into their original form. The encoded file(s) may be specified on the command line, or one may be read from standard input.
uudecode command is used to decode the ASCII representation that was created by the uuencode command. Please note that uuencode command encodes a binary file to ASCII text. 1. Basic uudecode Example. In this example, I have a file called “test.out”, which is a uuencoded file, as shown below. # cat test.out.
Uudecode transforms uuencoded files (or by default, the standard input) into the original form. The resulting file is named name and will have the mode of the original file except that setuid and execute bits are not retained. Uudecode ignores any leading and trailing lines.

The uudecode utility shall scan the input file, searching for data compatible with one of the formats specified in uuencode, and attempt to create or overwrite the file described by the data (or overridden by the -o option).
uudecode is a command-line utility used primarily for decoding files encoded using the uuencode method. This encoding technique was historically used to convert binary data into ASCII text so that it could be safely transmitted over networks that only supported text data.
