6 git-annex-examinekey - prints information from a key
7
9 git annex examinekey [key ...]
10
12 This plumbing-level command is given a key, and prints information that
13 can be determined purely by looking at the key.
14
16 --format=value
17
18 Use custom output formatting.
19
20 The value is a format string, in which '${var}' is expanded to
21 the value of a variable. To right-justify a variable with white‐
22 space, use '${var;width}' ; to left-justify a variable, use
23 '${var;-width}'; to escape unusual characters in a variable, use
24 '${escaped_var}'
25
26 These variables are available for use in formats: key, backend,
27 bytesize, humansize, keyname, hashdirlower, hashdirmixed, mtime
28 (for the mtime field of a WORM key).
29
30 Also, '\n' is a newline, '\000' is a NULL, etc.
31
32 --json Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs
33 that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
34
35 --json-error-messages
36 Messages that would normally be output to standard error are
37 included in the json instead.
38
39 --batch
40 Enable batch mode, in which a line containing a key is read from
41 stdin, the information about it is output to stdout, and repeat.
42
44 The location where the content of a key is stored can be looked up by
45 running:
46
47 git annex examinekey $KEY --for‐
48 mat='.git/annex/objects/${hashdirmixed}${key}/${key}'
