the size of updated object after replacing idents using the
mailmap mechanism.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">-e</dt>
<dd>
<p>Exit with zero status if <code>&lt;object&gt;</code> exists and is a valid
object. If <code>&lt;object&gt;</code> is of an invalid format, exit with non-zero

<p>Pretty-print the contents of <code>&lt;object&gt;</code> based on its type.</p>

<dd>
<p>Typically this matches the real type of <code>&lt;object&gt;</code> but asking
for a type that can trivially be dereferenced from the given
<code>&lt;object&gt;</code> is also permitted.  An example is to ask for a
"tree" with <code>&lt;object&gt;</code> being a commit object that contains it,
or to ask for a "blob" with <code>&lt;object&gt;</code> being a tag object that
points at it.</p>

end-of-line conversion, etc). In this case, <code>&lt;object&gt;</code> has to be of

<dt class="hdlist1">flush</dt>

<p>Used with <code>--buffer</code> to execute all preceding commands that were issued

is not used, commands are flushed each time without issuing <code>flush</code>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--batch-all-objects</dt>
<dd>
<p>Instead of reading a list of objects on stdin, perform the
requested batch operation on all objects in the repository and
any alternate object stores (not just reachable objects).
Requires <code>--batch</code> or <code>--batch-check</code> be specified. By default,
the objects are visited in order sorted by their hashes; see
also <code>--unordered</code> below. Objects are presented as-is, without
respecting the "replace" mechanism of <a href="git-replace.html">git-replace(1)</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--buffer</dt>
<dd>
<p>Normally batch output is flushed after each object is output, so
that a process can interactively read and write from
<code>cat-file</code>. With this option, the output uses normal stdio
buffering; this is much more efficient when invoking
<code>--batch-check</code> or <code>--batch-command</code> on a large number of objects.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--unordered</dt>
<dd>
<p>When <code>--batch-all-objects</code> is in use, visit objects in an
order which may be more efficient for accessing the object
contents than hash order. The exact details of the order are
unspecified, but if you do not require a specific order, this
should generally result in faster output, especially with
<code>--batch</code>.  Note that <code>cat-file</code> will still show each object
only once, even if it is stored multiple times in the
repository.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--allow-unknown-type</dt>
<dd>
<p>Allow <code>-s</code> or <code>-t</code> to query broken/corrupt objects of unknown type.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--follow-symlinks</dt>
<dd>
<p>With <code>--batch</code> or <code>--batch-check</code>, follow symlinks inside the
repository when requesting objects with extended SHA-1
expressions of the form tree-ish:path-in-tree.  Instead of
providing output about the link itself, provide output about
the linked-to object.  If a symlink points outside the
tree-ish (e.g. a link to <code>/foo</code> or a root-level link to <code>../foo</code>),
the portion of the link which is outside the tree will be
printed.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This option does not (currently) work correctly when an object in the
index is specified (e.g. <code>:link</code> instead of <code>HEAD:link</code>) rather than
one in the tree.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This option cannot (currently) be used unless <code>--batch</code> or
<code>--batch-check</code> is used.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, consider a git repository containing:</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If <code>--batch</code> or <code>--batch-check</code> is given, <code>cat-file</code> will read objects
from stdin, one per line, and print information about them. By default,
the whole line is considered as an object, as if it were fed to
<a href="git-rev-parse.html">git-rev-parse(1)</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When <code>--batch-command</code> is given, <code>cat-file</code> will read commands from stdin,
one per line, and print information based on the command given. With
<code>--batch-command</code>, the <code>info</code> command followed by an object will print
information about the object the same way <code>--batch-check</code> would, and the
<code>contents</code> command followed by an object prints contents in the same way
<code>--batch</code> would.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can specify the information shown for each object by using a custom
<code>&lt;format&gt;</code>. The <code>&lt;format&gt;</code> is copied literally to stdout for each
object, with placeholders of the form <code>%(atom)</code> expanded, followed by a
newline. The available atoms are:</p>
</div>
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>objectname</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The full hex representation of the object name.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>objecttype</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The type of the object (the same as <code>cat-file -t</code> reports).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>objectsize</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The size, in bytes, of the object (the same as <code>cat-file -s</code>
reports).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>objectsize:disk</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The size, in bytes, that the object takes up on disk. See the
note about on-disk sizes in the <code>CAVEATS</code> section below.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>deltabase</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>If the object is stored as a delta on-disk, this expands to the
full hex representation of the delta base object name.
Otherwise, expands to the null OID (all zeroes). See <code>CAVEATS</code>
below.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>rest</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>If this atom is used in the output string, input lines are split
at the first whitespace boundary. All characters before that
whitespace are considered to be the object name; characters
after that first run of whitespace (i.e., the "rest" of the
line) are output in place of the <code>%(rest)</code> atom.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>If no format is specified, the default format is <code>%(objectname)
%(objecttype) %(objectsize)</code>.</p>

<p>If <code>--batch</code> is specified, or if <code>--batch-command</code> is used with the <code>contents</code>
command, the object information is followed by the object contents (consisting
of <code>%(objectsize)</code> bytes), followed by a newline.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, <code>--batch</code> without a custom format would produce:</p>

<p>Note that the sizes of objects on disk are reported accurately, but care

choice of which object is the base and which is the delta is arbitrary
and is subject to change during a repack.</p>
