NAME

       sq packet armor - Convert binary to ASCII

SYNOPSIS

       sq packet armor [OPTIONS] FILE

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`.
