   9SYNOPSIS
  10--------
  11[verse]
  12'git-ls-tree' [-d] [-r] [-t] [-z]
  13            [--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--abbrev=[<n>]]

  16DESCRIPTION
  17-----------
  18Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does
  19in the current working directory. Note that the usage is subtly different,
  20though - 'paths' denote just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying
  21directory name (without '-r') will behave differently, and order of the
  22arguments does not matter.

  24OPTIONS
  25-------
  26<tree-ish>::
  27        Id of a tree-ish.
  28
  29-d::
  30        Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children.
  31
  32-r::
  33        Recurse into sub-trees.
  34
  35-t::
  36        Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect
  37        if '-r' was not passed. '-d' implies '-t'.
  38
  39-z::
  40        \0 line termination on output.
  41
  42--name-only::
  43--name-status::
  44        List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line.
  45
  46--abbrev[=<n>]::
  47        Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
  48        lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix.
  49        Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.
  50
  51--full-name::
  52        Instead of showing the path names relative to the current working
  53        directory, show the full path names.
  54
  55paths::
  56        When paths are given, show them (note that this isn't really raw
  57        pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match).  Otherwise
  58        implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument.

  60
  61Output Format
  62-------------
  63        <mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file>
  64
  65When the `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
  66in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, respectively.
