       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.

       On Unix:

          % fs getfid .
          File . (536870918.1.1) contained in volume 536870918

          % fs getfid /afs/example.com/foo
          File /afs/example.com/foo (536870918.20404.20997) contained in volume 536870918

       On Windows:

          % fs.exe getfid \\afs\example.edu\user\b\o\bob \
              \\afs\example.org\usr\bob\linktests\broken
          Directory \\afs\example.edu\user\b\o\bob (537235559.1.1) contained in cell example.edu
          fs: File '\\afs\example.org\usr\bob\linktests\broken' doesn't exist

          % fs.exe getfid \\afs\example.edu\user\b\o\bob \
              \\afs\example.org\usr\bob\linktests\broken -literal
          Mountpoint \\afs\example.edu\user\b\o\bob (536873032.1162.16997) contained in cell example.edu
          Symlink \\afs\example.org\usr\bob\linktests\broken (536874416.27618.488969) contained in cell example.org

       fs_getfid - Display the fid for a given path in AFS

-pathpath
           The path of the file (or directory).

       -literal
           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.

       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.

       The issuer must be have read access in the directory containing the path to be resolved.
