Convert binary to ASCII
Synopsis
sq toolbox armor [Options] FILE
Description
Convert binary to ASCII.
To make encrypted data easier to handle and transport, OpenPGP data can be transformed to an ASCII representation called ASCII Armor. sq emits armored data by default, but this subcommand can be used to convert existing OpenPGP data to its ASCII-encoded representation.
The converse operation is `sq toolbox dearmor`.
