dearmor(1)

NAME
dearmor - Converts ASCII to binary

SYNOPSIS
dearmor [-o|--output] [-h|--help] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
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".

OPTIONS

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

-h, --help
    Print help information

[FILE]
    Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted

EXAMPLES
 Convert a ASCII certificate to binary

     sq dearmor ascii-juliet.pgp

 Convert a ASCII message to binary

     sq dearmor ascii-message.pgp
