NAME

       armor - Converts binary to ASCII

SYNOPSIS

       armor [-o|--output] [--label] [-h|--help] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Converts 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 dearmor".

OPTIONS

       -o, --output=FILE
              Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted

       --label=LABEL [default: auto] [possible values: auto, message, cert, key, sig, file]
              Selects the kind of armor header

       -h, --help
              Print help information

       [FILE] Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted

EXAMPLES

        Convert a binary certificate to ASCII

               sq armor binary-juliet.pgp

        Convert a binary message to ASCII

               sq armor binary-message.pgp
