       This  plumbing-level  command  calculates  the key that would be used to refer to a file. The file is not
       added to the annex by this command.  The key is output to stdout.

       The backend used is the one from the annex.backend configuration setting, which can be overridden by  the
       --backend option.  For example, to force use of the SHA1 backend:

        git annex calckey --backend=SHA1 file

       git-annex-calckey - calculate key for a file

--backend=name

              Specifies which key-value backend to use.

       --batch
              Enable  batch  mode, in which a line containing the filename is read from stdin, the key is output
              to stdout (with a trailing newline), and repeat.

       -z     Makes the --batch input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual newlines.

       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
