If you need to find node ID in Mac and Linux for whatever reason, the diskutil utility may be the easiest way to do so from the command line. Each piece of unique content, called a “node,” has its own ID number. Pages are nodes, so each page has its own ID, also called a node number. The node number of a page is one way to find it. The diskutil command is very useful for Mac and Linux users who are comfortable moving around in the command line.
