6 sq-armor - Converts binary to ASCII

8 To make encrypted data easier to handle and transport, OpenPGP data can
9 be transformed to an ASCII representation called ASCII Armor. sq emits
10 armored data by default, but this subcommand can be used to convert ex‐
11 isting OpenPGP data to its ASCII-encoded representation.
12
13 The converse operation is "sq dearmor".
