  15 DESCRIPTION
  16 -----------
  17 Read the `.idx` file for a Git packfile (created with
  18 linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] or linkgit:git-index-pack[1]) from the
  19 standard input, and dump its contents. The output consists of one object
  20 per line, with each line containing two or three space-separated
  21 columns:
  22
  23   - the first column is the offset in bytes of the object within the
  24     corresponding packfile
  25
  26   - the second column is the object id of the object
  27
  28   - if the index version is 2 or higher, the third column contains the
  29     CRC32 of the object data
  30
  31 The objects are output in the order in which they are found in the index
  32 file, which should be (in a correctly constructed file) sorted by object
  33 id.
  34
  35 Note that you can get more information on a packfile by calling
  36 linkgit:git-verify-pack[1]. However, as this command considers only the
  37 index file itself, it's both faster and more flexible.
