Subject: [PATCH 4/4] improve man pages and some warnings.

Checking for warnings: mandoc -Tlint *.1

- Swap .St -p1003.1-2013 macro with text:
  mdoc does not support this macro and some texts were changed, like commit
  d4dfd42d3580ad36bedfdc5b8924ff6683981f53
- Typo fixes:
  exeption -> exception.
- xargs.1: document -P extension.
- sed.1: remove use of .Pp of .Ss.
- Wrap lines to less than 80 characters and use a new sentence for each line.
- find.1: Xr reference C library functions.

.Os sbase
.Sh NAME
.Nm uudecode
.Nd decode a uuencoded file
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl m
.Op Fl o Ar output
.Op Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
reads
.Ar file
and writes a decoded version to the file specified in the uuencoded header.
In case the file already exists, it is truncated.
Otherwise a new file is created.
The permissions of the created/accessed file are changed to reflect the
mode in the header.
If no
.Ar file
is given
.Nm
reads from stdin.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl m
Use Base64 for decoding.
.It Fl o Ar output
Write to
.Ar output
rather than the file specified in the header.
.El
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
For safety uudecode operates on regular files and stdout only.
Trying to uudecode to a link, directory, or special file
yields an error.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr uuencode 1
.Sh STANDARDS
POSIX.1-2013.
.Pp
The
.Op Fl m
flag is an extension to that specification.
