If you are a developer you will probably get a file handle, or +if you are working at a really low level you will probably get an inode number. +Regardless of what you get, you can use it to access your files later. + +A content-addressable store will instead give you an id that depends on the +contents of the file itself. This makes it useful for storing large amounts of +read only data.
