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
