git-annex-contentlocation(1) looks up content for a key

SYNOPSIS

git annex contentlocation [key ...]

DESCRIPTION

This plumbing-level command looks up filename used to store the content of a key. The filename is output to stdout. If the key's content is not present in the local repository, nothing is output, and it exits nonzero.

Note that in direct mode, the file will typically be in the git work tree, and while its content should correspond to the key, the file could become modified at any time after git-annex checks it.

OPTIONS

--batch
Enable batch mode, in which a line containing the key is read from stdin, the filename to its content is output to stdout (with a trailing newline), and repeat.
Note that if a key's content is not present, an empty line is output to stdout instead.
