sq-packet-dump - Man Page

List packets

Creates a human-readable description of the packet sequence. Additionally, it can print cryptographic artifacts, and print the raw octet stream similar to hexdump(1), annotating specifically which bytes are parsed into OpenPGP values.

If the packet stream includes an encryption container, `sq` will attempt to decrypt it.
