NAME

       sq-packet - Low-level packet manipulation

       An  OpenPGP  data  stream  consists of packets.  These tools allow working with packet streams.  They are
       mostly of interest to developers, but "sq packet dump" may be helpful to a wider audience both to provide
       valuable information in bug reports to OpenPGP-related software, and as a learning tool.

SYNOPSIS

       sq packet [FLAGS] <SUBCOMMAND>

FLAGS

       -h, --help
              Prints help information

SUBCOMMANDS

       help   Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

       dump   Lists 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.

              To inspect encrypted messages, either supply the session key, or see "sq decrypt  --dump"  or  "sq
              packet decrypt".

       decrypt
              Unwraps an encryption container

              Decrypts  a  message,  dumping the content of the encryption container without further processing.
              The result is a valid OpenPGP message that can, among other things, be inspected using "sq  packet
              dump".

       split  Splits a message into packets

              Splitting  a packet sequence into individual packets, then recombining them freely with "sq packet
              join" is a great way to experiment with OpenPGP data.

              The converse operation is "sq packet join".

       join   Joins packets split across files

              Splitting a packet sequence into individual packets, then recombining them freely with "sq  packet
              join" is a great way to experiment with OpenPGP data.

              The converse operation is "sq packet split".
