NAME

       sq-dearmor - Converts ASCII to binary

       To  make  encrypted  data  easier  to  handle  and transport, OpenPGP data can be transformed to an ASCII
       representation called ASCII Armor.  sq transparently handles armored data, but  this  subcommand  can  be
       used to explicitly convert existing ASCII-encoded OpenPGP data to its binary representation.

       The converse operation is "sq armor".
