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.
sq packet [FLAGS] <SUBCOMMAND>
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".
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".
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".
