You can't. 

However the format is pretty simple: It is the usual base-64 encoding
enclosed in header lines.  Look for the 5-dash header line, then wait
for an empty line and start your base-64 decoder with the next line.
A plain base-64 decoder should stop righjt before the OpenPGP CRC
checksum, which you can ignore.
