   4NAME
   5----
   6git-ls-tree - Lists the contents of a tree object.

   9SYNOPSIS
  10--------
  11'git-ls-tree' [-d] [-r] [-t] [-z] [--name-only] [--name-status] <tree-ish> [paths...]
  12
  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does
  16in the current working directory. Note that the usage is subtly different,
  17though - 'paths' denote just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying
  18directory name (without '-r') will behave differently, and order of the
  19arguments does not matter.

  21OPTIONS
  22-------
  23<tree-ish>::
  24        Id of a tree-ish.
  25
  26-d::
  27        Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children.
  28
  29-r::
  30        Recurse into sub-trees.
  31
  32-t::
  33        Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect
  34        if '-r' was not passed. '-d' implies '-t'.
  35
  36-z::
  37        \0 line termination on output.
  38
  39--name-only::
  40--name-status::
  41        List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line.
  42
  43paths::
  44        When paths are given, show them (note that this isn't really raw
  45        pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match).  Otherwise
  46        implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument.
  47
  48
  49Output Format
  50-------------
  51        <mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file>
  52
  53When the `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
  54in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, respectively.
