ydecode - Usenet file decoder
ydecode [-d, --debug] [-f, --force]
[-k, --keep] [-l, --list] [-o,
--output=dir] [-p, --paths] [-q,
--quiet] [-r, --recursive] [-s, --scan]
[-t, --test] [--strict] [--verify] [--help]
[--version] [FILE] ...
ydecode decodes the files specified on the command line according to the
yEnc Usenet encoding format. If no regular files are specified, ydecode
will scan any directories specified on the command line and/or the current
directory for yEnc encoded files, and decode them.
- -d, --debug
- Write messages useful for debugging to stderr while program is operating.
- -f, --force
- If the output file already exists, overwrite the existing file without
prompting.
- -k, --keep
- If an error occurs during the decoding process, do not remove the
erroneous output file.
- -l, --list
- Only list information about encoded files specified on the command line or
found during scanning.
- -o, --output=dir
- Create output in dir instead of the current directory.
- -p, --paths
- Obey relative pathnames to files in the encoded data. For example, if an
encoded file specifies the output file name as
files/new/bigfile.mp3, ydecode will by default ignore the
paths and save the file as bigfile.mp3. If the -p option is
specified, the output file will be saved as files/new/bigfile.mp3.
- -q, --quiet
- Try to avoid writing output while running. The only output that will occur
is error messages.
- -r, --recursive
- When scanning for encoded files, scan directories recursively.
- -t, --test
- Operate as usual, decoding and testing the integrity of all input files
(or files found during scanning), but do not actually create output files.
- --strict
- If this option is requested, more strict checks against the yEnc
specification will be performed while testing or decoding files. The
decoded data output will be unaffected, but warning messages will be
output when non-compliant data is found. This option is highly recommended
for individuals who want to implement yEnc encoding into their own
applications, to test the validity of their compressed data.
- --verify
- Synonym for `--test --strict'.
- --help
- Display program help and exit.
- --version
- Output version number and exit.
