FS_GETFID(1)
NAME
fs_getfid - Display the fid for a given path in AFS
SYNOPSIS
fs getfid [-path] path [-help]
DESCRIPTION
The fs getfid command displays the FID for a given path in AFS. The
FID is the internal identifier used by AFS encoding the volume name and
the file within a volume.
CAUTIONS
This command is not available on Windows prior to version 1.5.60.
OPTIONS
- -path path
- The path of the file (or directory).
- -literal
- Windows only: for a symlink or mount point, evaluates the specified object rather than the object it refers to.
- -help
- Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
OUTPUT
The output contains the name of the file or directory, the FID, and the
volume containing the FID. The Windows version also outputs the object
type instead of using "File" to describe all objects.

- % fs getfid .
