I don't know if it is better to discuss it in jail@ or stable@ list so a do cross-post.

FreeBSD has many jail aware utilities but they are inconsistent in taking JID as parameter.

For example "sockstat" takes -j JID "Show only sockets belonging to the specified jail ID" and it means numeric ID only. On the other hand "ps" takes -J JID "This may be either the jid or name of the jail.  Use -J 0 to display only host processes." The same apply for "top", it understands jid as a number or name of the jail too.
Then again "cpuset" takes only numerical ID of the jail...

Shouldn't it be consistent across all FreeBSD base utilities so all of them can use numerical ID and name?
Good idea! Are you offering to create a patch? ;-)
It'd be my guess that given they weren't all created at the same time, nor the same individual; that (quite probably?) the "jail" additions were also
added at different times, and by different people. So I'd imagine that
unless someone with a commit bit decides one day they'd like to take that
on. Someone(tm) maybe you? will need to propose a patch. :-)

If I can understand C sources I will create the patch by myself
instead of just posting here. Unfortunately I am able to code in sh,
php and a bit of javascript and perl but no C. :)

Sure, a PR would be handy for this - it's a pretty simple thing to add, and consistency would indeed be a good move.
