GIT-CHECK-ATTR(1)				GIT-CHECK-ATTR(1)

NAME
       git-check-attr - Display gitattributes information

SYNOPSIS
       git check-attr attr... [--] pathname...
       git check-attr --stdin [-z] attr... < <list-of-paths>

DESCRIPTION
       For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is unspec-
       ified, set, or unset as a gitattribute on that pathname.

OPTIONS
       --stdin
	      Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.

       -z     Only meaningful with --stdin; paths are  separated  with	a  NUL
	      character instead of a linefeed character.

       --     Interpret	 all preceding arguments as attributes and all follow-
	      ing arguments as path names. If not  supplied,  only  the	 first
	      argument will be treated as an attribute.

OUTPUT
       The  output is of the form: <path> COLON SP <attribute> COLON SP <info>
       LF

       <path> is the path of a file being queried, <attribute> is an attribute
       being queried and <info> can be either:

       unspecified
	      when the attribute is not defined for the path.

       unset  when the attribute is defined as false.

       set    when the attribute is defined as true.

       <value>
	      when a value has been assigned to the attribute.

EXAMPLES
       In the examples, the following .gitattributes file is used:

								1

GIT-CHECK-ATTR(1)				GIT-CHECK-ATTR(1)

       .ft C
       *.java diff=java -crlf myAttr
       NoMyAttr.java !myAttr
       README caveat=unspecified
       .ft

       o  Listing a single attribute:

       .ft C
       $ git check-attr diff org/example/MyClass.java
       org/example/MyClass.java: diff: java
       .ft

       o  Listing multiple attributes for a file:

       .ft C
       $ git check-attr crlf diff myAttr -- org/example/MyClass.java
       org/example/MyClass.java: crlf: unset
       org/example/MyClass.java: diff: java
       org/example/MyClass.java: myAttr: set
       .ft

       o  Listing an attribute for multiple files:

       .ft C
       $ git check-attr myAttr -- org/example/MyClass.java org/example/NoMyAttr.java
       org/example/MyClass.java: myAttr: set
       org/example/NoMyAttr.java: myAttr: unspecified
       .ft

       o  Not all values are equally unambiguous:

								2

       .ft C
       $ git check-attr caveat README
       README: caveat: unspecified
       .ft
