`struct git_attr_check`::
This structure represents a set of attributes to check in a call
- to `git_checkattr()` function, and receives the results.

-Calling Sequence
-----------------
-
-* Prepare an array of `struct git_attr_check` to define the list of
- attributes you would want to check. To populate this array, you would
- need to define necessary attributes by calling `git_attr()` function.
-
-* Call git_checkattr() to check the attributes for the path.
-
-* Inspect `git_attr_check` structure to see how each of the attribute in
- the array is defined for the path.

Example
-------
}
------------
-. Call `git_checkattr()` with the prepared array of `struct git_attr_check`:
+. Call `git_check_attr()` with the prepared array of `struct git_attr_check`:
------------
const char *path;
setup_check();
- git_checkattr(path, ARRAY_SIZE(check), check);
+ git_check_attr(path, ARRAY_SIZE(check), check);
------------
. Act on `.value` member of the result, left in `check[]`:
The attribute is Unset, by listing the name of the
attribute prefixed with a dash - for the path.
} else if (ATTR_UNSET(value)) {
- The attribute is not set nor unset for the path.
+ The attribute is neither set nor unset for the path.
} else if (!strcmp(value, "input")) {
If none of ATTR_TRUE(), ATTR_FALSE(), or ATTR_UNSET() is
true, the value is a string set in the gitattributes
}

+Querying All Attributes
+-----------------------
+
+To get the values of all attributes associated with a file:
+
+* Call `git_all_attrs()`, which returns an array of `git_attr_check`
+ structures.
+
+* Iterate over the `git_attr_check` array to examine the attribute
+ names and values. The name of the attribute described by a
+ `git_attr_check` object can be retrieved via
+ `git_attr_name(check[i].attr)`. (Please note that no items will be
+ returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return false
+ for all returned `git_array_check` objects.)
+
+* Free the `git_array_check` array.
