SQ(1)

NAME
sq packet dump - List packets

SYNOPSIS
sq packet dump [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION
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.
