convert BAM -> SAM?

[thinkRNA]

how can one convert from BAM to SAM
I can use samtools to go from SAM to BAM but not other way. samtools only outputs BAM format, does anyone know? Thanks in advance!

samtools -b -S in.sam > out.bam

[thinkRNA]

samtools -b -S in.sam > out.bam

is this not sam to bam? I want to go the other way (bam to sam). thanks!

Thank you zee.
By the way, the header section would be absent.
