SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'git check-attr' attr... [--] pathname...
-'git check-attr' --stdin [-z] attr... < <list-of-paths>
+'git check-attr' [-a | --all | attr...] [--] pathname...
+'git check-attr' --stdin [-z] [-a | --all | attr...] < <list-of-paths>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
OPTIONS
-------
+-a, --all::
+ List all attributes that are associated with the specified
+ paths. If this option is used, then 'unspecified' attributes
+ will not be included in the output.
+
+--cached::
+ Consider `.gitattributes` in the index only, ignoring the working tree.
+
--stdin::
Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.
\--::
Interpret all preceding arguments as attributes and all following
- arguments as path names. If not supplied, only the first argument will
- be treated as an attribute.
+ arguments as path names.
+
+If none of `--stdin`, `--all`, or `--` is used, the first argument
+will be treated as an attribute and the rest of the arguments as
+pathnames.
OUTPUT
------
'set';; when the attribute is defined as true.
<value>;; when a value has been assigned to the attribute.
+Buffering happens as documented under the `GIT_FLUSH` option in
+linkgit:git[1]. The caller is responsible for avoiding deadlocks
+caused by overfilling an input buffer or reading from an empty output
+buffer.
+

* Listing an attribute for multiple files:
