The output consists of one object +per line, with each line containing two or three space-separated +columns: + + - the first column is the offset in bytes of the object within the + corresponding packfile + + - the second column is the object id of the object + + - if the index version is 2 or higher, the third column contains the + CRC32 of the object data + +The objects are output in the order in which they are found in the index +file, which should be (in a correctly constructed file) sorted by object +id. + +Note that you can get more information on a packfile by calling +linkgit:git-verify-pack[1]. However, as this command considers only the +index file itself, it's both faster and more flexible. + +OPTIONS +------- + +--object-format=<hash-algorithm>:: + Specify the given object format (hash algorithm) for the index file. The + valid values are 'sha1' and (if enabled) 'sha256'. The default is the + algorithm for the current repository (set by `extensions.objectFormat`), or + 'sha1' if no value is set or outside a repository.. ++ +include::object-format-disclaimer.txt[] + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
