| .SH "Description" | |
| Builds and optionally compares generated pointer files to ensure consistency between different Git LFS implementations\. | |
| . | |
| .SH "OPTIONS" | |
| . | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-\-file\fR | |
| A local file to build the pointer from\. | |
| . | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-\-pointer\fR | |
| A local file including the contents of a pointer generated from another implementation\. This is compared to the pointer generated from \fB\-\-file\fR\. | |
| . | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-\-stdin\fR | |
| Reads the pointer from STDIN to compare with the pointer generated from \fB\-\-file\fR\. | |
| . | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-\-check\fR | |
| Reads the pointer from STDIN (if \fB\-\-stdin\fR is given) or the filepath (if \fB\-\-file\fR) is given\. If neither or both of \fB\-\-stdin\fR and \fB\-\-file\fR are given, the invocation is invalid\. Exits 0 if the data read is a valid Git LFS pointer\. Exits 1 otherwise\. | |
| . | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-\-strict\fR: | |
| . | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-\-no\-strict\fR | |
| In conjunction with \fB\-\-check\fR, \fB\-\-strict\fR verifies that the pointer is canonical; that is, it would be the one created by Git LFS\. If it is not, exits 2\. The default, for backwards compatibility, is \fB\-\-no\-strict\fR, but this may change in a future version\. | |

| Part of the git\-lfs(1) suite\. | |
