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 listof key=value pairs, e.g.header1=value1,header2=value2. Overridesthe defaultstorage/additional_headers property value for thiscommand invocation.
--fetch-encrypted-object-hashes
If the initial GET request returns an object encrypted with a customer-suppliedencryption key, the hash fields will be null. If the matching decryption key ispresent 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 andnoncurrent ones.
ENCRYPTION FLAGS
--decryption-keys=[DECRYPTION_KEY,…]
A comma-separated list of customer-supplied encryption keys (RFC 4648 section 4base64-encoded AES256 strings) that will be used to decrypt Cloud Storageobjects. Data encrypted with a customer-managed encryption key (CMEK) isdecrypted automatically, so CMEKs do not need to be listed here.

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.
