# get-fof command

The get-fof BASIC program returns the
item-ID in the file-of-files file associated with the specified VME
file.

## Syntax

```
get-fof file.reference {(options}
```

## Parameter(s)

| options | l | Generates a select list containing the file-of-files file-ID. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| s | Suppresses the output of the item-ID. | |

## Example(s)

This command is useful for getting
statistical data contained about a file in the file of files file.
The example below shows that the optimal modulo for the file (in attribute `sug.mod`) is significantly larger than the real modulo. Based
on these results, this file is a good candidate for resizing.

```
get-fof bp (ls

3749
[404] 1 items selected out of 1 items.

list fof fname sug.mod modulo

Page 1 fof 09:42:39 09 May 2004
fof...... fname...... sug.mod... modulo...
3749 bp bp 23 17
[405] 1 items listed out of 1 items.
```
