sq packet armor - Convert binary to ASCII
Contents
Description
Convert binary to ASCII.
To make encrypted data easier to handle and transport, OpenPGP data can be transformed to an ASCII
representation called ASCII Armor. sq emits armored data by default, but this subcommand can be used to
convert existing OpenPGP data to its ASCII-encoded representation.
The converse operation is `sq packet dearmor`.
Examples
Convert a binary OpenPGP message to an ASCII armored OpenPGP message.
sq packet armor message.bin
Convert a binary OpenPGP message to an ASCII armored OpenPGP message explicitly choosing the armor label.
sq packet armor --label=message message.bin
