💖 SQ-PACKET-JOIN 💖

okay bestie, this is the sq-packet-join page from the SQ(1) manual — it's sq packet join, the lil glow-up command that smooshes your split-apart packets back together 💅

✨ NAME ✨

sq-packet-join — join packets split across files 🧩

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sq packet join [OPTIONS] FILE

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, join packets split across files. that's the whole vibe ✨

Here's the thing bestie — taking a packet sequence, splitting it into individual lil packets, then recombining them however you want with sq packet join? that is literally the best way to experiment with OpenPGP data. no cap. it's giving science lab but make it cryptography 🧪💖

The converse operation (the opposite one, the backwards one, the reverse bestie) is sq packet split. 🪄
