git-annex-lookupkey(1)      General Commands Manual     git-annex-lookupkey(1)

NAME
       git-annex-lookupkey - looks up key used for file

SYNOPSIS
       git annex lookupkey [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

OPTIONS
       --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.
