NAME
    gcloud storage objects describe - describe a Cloud Storage object

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud storage objects describe URL [--additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE]
        [--fetch-encrypted-object-hashes] [--raw] [--soft-deleted]
        [--decryption-keys=[DECRYPTION_KEY,...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    Describe a Cloud Storage object.

EXAMPLES
    Describe a Google Cloud Storage object with the url
    "gs://bucket/my-object":

        $ gcloud storage objects describe gs://bucket/my-object

    Describe object with JSON formatting, only returning the "name" key:

        $ gcloud storage objects describe gs://bucket/my-object \
            --format="json(name)"

    Describe only contexts attached to objects as key value pairs.

        $ gcloud storage objects describe gs://my-bucket/object \
            --format=contextsonly

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     URL
        Specifies URL of object to describe.

FLAGS
     --additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE
        Includes arbitrary headers in storage API calls. Accepts a comma
        separated list of key=value pairs, e.g. header1=value1,header2=value2.
        Overrides the default storage/additional_headers property value for
        this command invocation.

     --fetch-encrypted-object-hashes
        If the initial GET request returns an object encrypted with a
        customer-supplied encryption key, the hash fields will be null. If the
        matching decryption key is present on the system, this flag retries the
        GET request with the key.

     --raw
        Shows metadata in the format returned by the API instead of
        standardizing it.

     --soft-deleted
        Displays soft-deleted resources only. For objects, it will exclude live
        and noncurrent ones.

ENCRYPTION FLAGS
     --decryption-keys=[DECRYPTION_KEY,...]
        A comma-separated list of customer-supplied encryption keys (RFC 4648
        section 4 base64-encoded AES256 strings) that will be used to decrypt
        Cloud Storage objects. Data encrypted with a customer-managed
        encryption key (CMEK) is decrypted automatically, so CMEKs do not need
        to be listed here.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    This variant is also available:

        $ gcloud alpha storage objects describe
