.SH SYNOPSIS

.B sexp-conv

.RI [ options ]

.SH DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the

.B 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.

.PP

.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and

.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,

.\" respectively.

\fBsexp-conv\fP is a program that converts S-expressions. It is primarily

used by the `lsh' packages, which stores keys and most other objects

store on disk in that format, but may be of other use as well.
