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 js-
     tart(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  al-
     ways only prints out one jail id for a given jail host name.

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