#
# Simple command line script to restore ascii armor gpg keys from a QR image.
# You can use the following commands to import your restored keys:
#
#   gpg --import pgp-public-keys.asc
#   gpg --import pgp-private-keys.asc
#
# This script will allow you to convert QR images created with asc2qr.sh
# info an ascii armor pgp key.
#
# This script depends on the following libraries/applications:
#
#   libqrencode (http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/)
#   zbar (http://zbar.sourceforge.net)
#
# If you need to backup or restore binary keys, see this link to get started:
