DESCRIPTION

13       This plumbing-level command calculates the key that would  be  used  to
14       refer  to  a  file. The file is not added to the annex by this command.
15       The key is output to stdout.
16
17       The backend used is the one from the annex.backend  configuration  set‐
18       ting, which can be overridden by the --backend option.  For example, to
19       force use of the SHA1 backend:
20
21        git annex calckey --backend=SHA1 file
22

OPTIONS

24       --backend=name
25
26              Specifies which key-value backend to use.
27
28       --batch
29              Enable batch mode, in which a line containing  the  filename  is
30              read  from  stdin,  the key is output to stdout (with a trailing
31              newline), and repeat.
32
33       -z     Makes the --batch input be delimited by  nulls  instead  of  the
34              usual newlines.
