Name
decode
Synopsis
decode(infile,outfile=None,mode=None)
Reads file-like object infile, by calling
infile
.readline until
end of file (i.e, until a call to
infile
.readline returns
an empty string) or until a terminator line (the string
'end' surrounded by any amount of whitespace).
decode decodes the UU-encoded text thus read, and
writes the decoded data to file-like object
outfile. When
outfile is None,
decode creates the file specified in the UU-format
begin line, with the permission bits given by
mode (the permission bits specified in the
begin line, when mode
is None). In this case, decode
raises an exception if the file already exists.
