section `BATCH OUTPUT` below for details.
+--buffer::
+ Normally batch output is flushed after each object is output, so
+ that a process can interactively read and write from
+ `cat-file`. With this option, the output uses normal stdio
+ buffering; this is much more efficient when invoking
+ `--batch-check` on a large number of objects.
+
--allow-unknown-type::
Allow -s or -t to query broken/corrupt objects of unknown type.
