  12. .Sh DESCRIPTION
  13. .Nm
  14. reads
  15. .Ar file
  16. and writes a decoded version to the file specified in the uuencoded header.
  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.

  38. yields an error.
