+.Sh NAME
+.Nm jid
+.Nd translates jail host names to jail ids and vice versa
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Ar hostname
+.Nm
+.Ar jail-id
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+translates jail host names to jail ids and vice versa for running jails. When
+called with an integer number as it's argument,
+.Nm
+assumes that it's a jail id and converts it to a host name. When called with
+any other text,
+.Nm
+uses it as a host name and tries to resolve it to a jail id.
+.Sh NOTES
+Jail ids are an integer assigned when a jail starts up. Use
+.Xr jail 8
+or
+.Xr jstart 8
+with a
+.Fl i
+argument to print the jail id for a running jail.
+.Xr jls 8
+will also print jail ids for all jails running on the system.
+.Pp
+It is possible to run two jails with the same host name.
+.Nm
+however always only prints out one jail id for a given jail host name.
