NAME
     sq-packet-dearmor - Convert ASCII to binary

SYNOPSIS
     sq packet 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  transpar-
     ently  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 packet armor`.

OPTIONS

     --output=FILE
	    Write to FILE or stdout if omitted

      FILE  Read from FILE or stdin if FILE is '-'

   Global options
     See sq(1) for a description of the global options.

EXAMPLES
     Convert an ASCII armored OpenPGP message to a binary OpenPGP message.

	    sq packet dearmor --output=message.bin message.pgp
