NAME
sexp-conv - convert s-expression to a different encoding
SYNOPSIS
Conversion:
sexp-conv [OPTION]... < INPUT-SEXP
Fingerprinting:
sexp-conv --hash[=algorithm] [OPTION]... < INPUT-SEXP
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the sexp-conv command. This manual
page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has
documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.
sexp-conv is a program that converts S-expressions. It automatically
detects the s-expression syntax variant of the input. It is primarily
used by the ‘lsh’ packages, which stores keys and most other objects on
disk in that format, but may be of other use as well.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options is
included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
--hash=algorithm
Output only the hash of the s-expression, using algorithm
(default: sha1).
--raw-hash
Alias for --hash, for compatibility with lsh 1.x.
--once Process exactly one s-expression.
--spki-hash
Output an SPKI hash for the object. Not yet implemented.
-s, --syntax=format
Variant of S-expression to output. Valid S-expression formats
are: transport, canonical (binary), advanced, and hex (same as
advanced, but numbers in hex instead of base64).
-w, --width=width
Limit output to lines of width characters (has no effect on
canonical syntax). Zero means no limit.
-?, --help
Show summary of options.
-V, --version
Show version of program.

The programs are documented fully by the sexp section under the Getting
Started header of the lsh info page, available via the Info system.
BUGS
This program should be documented in the nettle manual, not in the lsh
manual.
