Hi eschwartz,

Quick question: when I do a -f with an empty string (-f "") I get an error on Windows that says a blank string is not acceptable. Do you get the same error on unix?

I can probably work around it and just use "uuid" and parse each line somehow to get the ID... but it would be much nicer if I could just get a list of IDs with the command...
