NAME

sq toolbox dearmor - Convert ASCII to binary

SYNOPSIS

sq toolbox dearmor [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION

Convert 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 toolbox armor’.
