jid(8)                    BSD System Manager's Manual                   jid(8)

NAME
     jid - translates jail host names to jail ids and vice versa

SYNOPSIS
     jid hostname
     jid jail-id

DESCRIPTION
     jid translates jail host names to jail ids and vice versa for running
     jails. When called with an integer number as it's argument, jid assumes
     that it's a jail id and converts it to a host name. When called with any
     other text, jid uses it as a host name and tries to resolve it to a jail
     id.

NOTES
     Jail ids are an integer assigned when a jail starts up. Use jail(8) or
     jstart(8) with a -i argument to print the jail id for a running jail.
     jls(8) will also print jail ids for all jails running on the system.

     It is possible to run two jails with the same host name.  jid however
     always only prints out one jail id for a given jail host name.

SEE ALSO
     jail(2), jail(8), jls(8), jstart(8)
