12 .Sh DESCRIPTION
13 .Nm
14 reads
15 .Ar file
16 and writes a decoded version to the file specified in the uuencoded head…
17 In case the file already exists, it is truncated.
18 Otherwise a new file is created.
19 The permissions of the created/accessed file are changed to reflect the
20 mode in the header.
21 If no
22 .Ar file
23 is given
24 .Nm
25 reads from stdin.
