jid
—
translates jail host names to jail ids and vice versa
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.
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.
