[PATCH v3 23/23] cat-file: update of docs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update the docs for cat-file command. Some new formatting atoms added
because of reusing ref-filter code.
We do not support cat-file atoms in general formatting logic
(there is just the support for cat-file), that is why some of the atoms
are still explained in cat-file docs.
We need to move these explanations when atoms will be supported
by other commands.

 You can specify the information shown for each object by using a custom
 `<format>`. The `<format>` is copied literally to stdout for each
 object, with placeholders of the form `%(atom)` expanded, followed by a
-newline. The available atoms are:
-
-`objectname`::
-	The 40-hex object name of the object.
-
-`objecttype`::
-	The type of the object (the same as `cat-file -t` reports).
-
-`objectsize`::
-	The size, in bytes, of the object (the same as `cat-file -s`
-	reports).
+newline. The available atoms are the same as that of
+linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1], but there are some additional ones:
 
 `objectsize:disk`::
 	The size, in bytes, that the object takes up on disk. See the
