How to get the File ID of a file or folder in on Windows 10 command line?

Issue

I want to know the File ID (on Linux etx-filesystem it would be called Inode number) of some files on Windows 10. Could be in a gui but would be better on command line.

A workaround would be to use bash (e.g. git-bash or cygwin) with ls -i. But I would prefere a windows specific solution.

Solution

Using the Windows command prompt

fsutil file queryfileid <filename>

Looks like that wildcards not supported.
