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.
