NAME

6       sq-dearmor - Converts ASCII to binary
7
8       To make encrypted data easier to handle and transport, OpenPGP data can
9       be transformed to an  ASCII  representation  called  ASCII  Armor.   sq
10       transparently  handles armored data, but this subcommand can be used to
11       explicitly convert existing ASCII-encoded OpenPGP data  to  its  binary
12       representation.
13
14       The converse operation is "sq armor".
