<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
Read the <B>.idx</B> file for a Git packfile (created with <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+git-pack-objects">git-pack-objects</A></B>(1) or <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+git-index-pack">git-index-pack</A></B>(1)) from the standard input, and dump its contents. The output consists of one object per line, with each line containing two or three space-separated columns:
<P>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="1"><DD>
&bull;
the first column is the offset in bytes of the object within the corresponding packfile
</DL>
<P>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="2"><DD>
&bull;
the second column is the object id of the object
</DL>
<P>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="3"><DD>
&bull;
if the index version is 2 or higher, the third column contains the CRC32 of the object data
</DL>
<P>
The objects are output in the order in which they are found in the index file, which should be (in a correctly constructed file) sorted by object id.
<P>
Note that you can get more information on a packfile by calling <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+git-verify-pack">git-verify-pack</A></B>(1). However, as this command considers only the index file itself, it's both faster and more flexible.
