OPTIONS

       file matching options

              The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify files to act on.

       --key=keyname
              Show where a particular git-annex key is located.

       --all  Show whereis information for all known keys.

       --branch=ref
              Show whereis information for files in the specified branch or treeish.

       --unused
              Show whereis information for files found by last run of git-annex unused.

       --batch
              Enables  batch  mode, in which a file is read in a line from stdin, its information displayed, and
              repeat.

              Note that if the file is not an annexed file, an empty line will be output instead.

       --json Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use  git-annex.  Each  line  of
              output is a JSON object.

       --json-error-messages
              Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in the json instead.
