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.

NAME

       ssh-conv - script to convert OpenSSH/SSH2 keys to lsh format

       (see the SEE ALSO section).

       Converts an OpenSSH style public key to spki format used by lsh. Reads the key from stdin and outputs the converted key on stdout.

       Example usage:

       $ ssh-conv < /home/pont/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
       lsh-decode-key: lsh-decode-key: Reading key of type ssh-dss...
