git-annex-lookupkey - looks up key used for file
git annex lookupkey [file ...]
This plumbing-level command looks up the key used for a file in
the index. The key is output to stdout. If there is no key (because the file
is not present in the index, or is not a git-annex managed file), nothing is
output, and it exits nonzero.
- --ref
- Rather than looking for the specified files in the index, interpet them as
git refs. For example to find the key used for somefile in tag v1.0:
- git-annex lookupkey v1.0:somefile
- --batch
- Enable batch mode, in which a line containing the filename is read from
stdin, the key is output to stdout (with a trailing newline), and
repeat.
- Note that if there is no key corresponding to the file, an empty line is
output to stdout instead.
- -z
- Makes the --batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual
newlines.
- Also the
git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
