git-lfs-pointer(1) -- Build and compare pointers
================================================
## SYNOPSIS
`git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file`
`git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file --pointer=path/to/pointer`
`git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file --stdin`
## Description
Builds and optionally compares generated pointer files to ensure consistency
between different Git LFS implementations.
