NAME

       sq-armor - Converts 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 dearmor".
