NAME

       sq-packet - Low-level packet manipulation

       An  OpenPGP  data  stream  consists  of  packets.   These  tools allow working with packet
       streams.  They are mostly of interest to developers, but "sq packet dump" may  be  helpful
       to a wider audience both to provide valuable information in bug reports to OpenPGP-related
       software, and as a learning tool.

SYNOPSIS

       sq packet [FLAGS] <SUBCOMMAND>

FLAGS

       -h, --help
              Prints help information

SUBCOMMANDS

       help   Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

       dump   Lists packets

              Creates a human-readable description of the packet sequence.  Additionally, it  can
              print   cryptographic  artifacts,  and  print  the  raw  octet  stream  similar  to
              hexdump(1), annotating specifically which bytes are parsed into OpenPGP values.

              To inspect encrypted messages, either supply the session key, or  see  "sq  decrypt
              --dump" or "sq packet decrypt".

       decrypt
              Unwraps an encryption container

              Decrypts a message, dumping the content of the encryption container without further
              processing.  The result is a valid OpenPGP message that can, among other things, be
              inspected using "sq packet dump".

       split  Splits a message into packets

              Splitting  a  packet sequence into individual packets, then recombining them freely
              with "sq packet join" is a great way to experiment with OpenPGP data.

              The converse operation is "sq packet join".

       join   Joins packets split across files

              Splitting a packet sequence into individual packets, then recombining  them  freely
              with "sq packet join" is a great way to experiment with OpenPGP data.

              The converse operation is "sq packet split".
