NAME

       git-annex-contentlocation - 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.
