NAME

       uufilter - decode uuencoded files to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       uufilter [-f outfilename] [-l] [-s] [-v] [infilename]

DESCRIPTION

       Uufilter is a "smart" uuencoded file decoder that can optionally dump the file to stdout.

       If no filename is supplied, input is read from stdin.

       Uufilter  automatically ignores lines that do not appear to be part of the uuencoded file.
       This is particularly useful in uudecoding files that have been concatenated  from  several
       email  or  news postings without stripping off the headers or otherwise editing extraneous
       content.

OPTIONS

       -f filename
               Dump output to filename rather than the name specified in the uuencoded file.

       -l      Lenient mode.  This is useful if  passed  through  a  mailer  that  adds  trailing
               spaces.

       -s      Dump output to stdout rather than to the filename indicated in the uuencoded file.

       -v      Verbose mode; talks about what's going on.
