+Querying All Attributes
+-----------------------
+
+To get the values of all attributes associated with a file:
+
+* Call `git_all_attrs()`, which returns an array of `git_attr_check`
+ structures.
+
+* Iterate over the `git_attr_check` array to examine the attribute
+ names and values. The name of the attribute described by a
+ `git_attr_check` object can be retrieved via
+ `git_attr_name(check[i].attr)`. (Please note that no items will be
+ returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return false
+ for all returned `git_array_check` objects.)
+
+* Free the `git_array_check` array.
