+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+`object-info` is the command to retrieve information about one or more objects.
+Its main purpose is to allow a client to make decisions based on this
+information without having to fully fetch objects. Object size is the only

+An `object-info` request takes the following arguments:
+
+ size
+ Requests size information to be returned for each listed object id.
+
+ oid <oid>
+ Indicates to the server an object which the client wants to obtain
+ information for.
+
+The response of `object-info` is a list of the the requested object ids
+and associated requested information, each separated by a single space.
