fnid: Looking up filenames

`fnid' queries the list of file names stored in the ID database. It accepts shell wildcard patterns on the command line. If no pattern is supplied, `*' is implied. `fnid' prints the file names that match the given patterns.

`fnid' prints file names, and as such accepts the `--separator' option as described in section Options for Programs that List File Names.

For example, the command:

fnid \*.c

lists all the `.c' files in the database. (The `\' here protects the `*' from being expanded by the shell.)
