NAME

6       git-annex-calckey - calculate key for a file

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex calckey [file ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

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

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