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
       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 packet armor`.
