+    <XY>        A 2 character field containing the staged and
+                unstaged XY values described in the short format,
+                with unchanged indicated by a "." rather than

+A series of lines are then displayed for untracked and ignored entries.
+
+    <x> <path>
+
+Where <x> is "?" for untracked entries and "!" for ignored entries.
+
+In all 3 line formats, pathnames will be "C Quoted" if they contain
+any of the following characters: TAB, LF, double quotes, or backslashes.
+These characters will be replaced with \t, \n, \", and \\, respectively,
+and the pathname will be enclosed in double quotes.
+
+When the `-z` option is given, a NUL (zero) byte follows each pathname;
+serving as both a separator and line termination. No pathname quoting
+or backslash escaping is performed. All fields are output in the same
+order.
