A git-annex key has this format:
|
|
|
|
BACKEND-sNNNN-mNNNN--NAME
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
SHA256E-s31390--f50d7ac4c6b9031379986bc362fcefb65f1e52621ce1708d537e740fefc59cc0.mp3
|
|
|
|
* The backend is one of the [[key-value_backends|backends]], which
|
|
are always upper-cased.
|
|
* The name field at the end has a format dependent on the backend. It is
|
|
always the last field, and is prefixed with "--". Unlike other fields,
|
|
it may contain "-" in its content. It should not contain newline characters;
|
|
otherwise nearly anything goes.
|
|
* The "-s" field is optional, and is the size of the content in bytes.
|
|
* The "-m" field is optional, and is the mtime of the file when it was
|
|
added to git-annex, expressed as seconds from the epoch.
|
|
This is currently only used by the WORM backend.
|
|
* Other fields could be added in the future, if needed.
|
|
* Fields may appear, in any order (though always before the name field).
