====== Information ======


There are occasions where you have a File_ID of a file, but not the name.  Probably related to $ ANALYZE/DISK errors such as this one:

<code>
%ANALDISK-W-MULTALLOC, file (3224,22,0)
        multiply allocated blocks
        VBN 37225 to 37227
        LBN 6934554 to 6934556, RVN 1
</code>

So how do you determine the name of the file in question?  

====== Procedure ======


Create a command procedure with the following information:

  $! fid_header_dump.com
  $ if p1 .eqs. "" then inquire p1 "Disk name"
  $ if p1 .eqs. "" then exit
  $ if p2 .eqs. "" then inquire p2 "File ID"
  $ p2 = p2 - "(" - ")"
  $ if p2 .eqs. "" then exit
  $!
  $ show symbol p1
  $ p1 = p1 - ":" + ":"
  $ disk = f$parse (p1,,,"device")
  $ show symbol disk
  $ fid = f$element (0, ",", p2)
  $!
  $ cluster = f$getdvi (disk, "cluster")
  $ maxfil = f$getdvi (disk, "maxfiles")
  $ bitmap = (maxfil + 4095) / 4096
  $ skip = cluster * 4 + bitmap
  $ block = skip + fid
  $ dump /file_header 'disk'[000000]indexf.sys /block=(s:'block',c:1)

Example usage:

For this example, the ANALYZE/DISK command was on disk DSA2, so that is provided into the command.

<code>
$ @fid_header_dump dsa2 "(3224,22,0)"
  P1 = "DSA2"
  DISK = "DSA2:"

Dump of file DSA2:[000000]INDEXF.SYS;1 on  1-FEB-2019 11:58:20.28
File ID (1,1,0)   End of file block 471860 / Allocated 471888
