tag2name(8)


NAME

  tag2name - prints the path name of a file given the tag number


SYNOPSIS

  /sbin/advfs/tag2name tags_directory/tag


OPERANDS

  tags_directory
      Specifies the relative path of the AdvFS tags directory for the
      fileset.

  tag Specifies the AdvFS file tag number.


DESCRIPTION

  Internally, AdvFS identifies files by tag numbers (similar to inodes in
  UFS). Internal messages, error messages, and output from diagnostic
  utilities usually specify a tag number in place of a file name. To
  determine the name and path of the file identified by a tag number, use the
  tag2name command.

  Each mounted AdvFS fileset has a .tags directory in its mount point. To
  obtain the file name, specify the path to the .tags directory in the
  fileset followed by the desired tag number as the argument to the tag2name
  command. The full path name of the corresponding file will be printed to
  standard out.


RESTRICTIONS

  You must have root-user privilege to access this command. The tag you
  specify must be numeric and greater than 1.


EXAMPLES

   1.  The following example prints the file name corresponding to tag 5 in
       the usr fileset. It assumes the current working directory is /usr:
	    # /sbin/advfs/tag2name .tags/5

	    /usr/quota.group

   2.  The following example prints the file name corresponding to tag 145 in
       the staff2 fileset. The current working directory is /staff2/.tags:
	    # /sbin/advfs/tag2name 145

	    /staff2/joe/save/oldfile
