 The commands to access data about an experiment or to terminate it all take only two non-generic options:
 
- '''--experiment_file='''''filename''
+ '''--experiment_file='''''filename''::
   The ''filename'' must contain a certificate valid for the experiment's fedid.  If so it is used to authenticate access to the experiment.  A password may be required if one has been added to the private key.
- '''--experiment_name='''''name''

+The `fedid.py` command prints the [Feddabout#Globalidentifiers:Fedids fedid] of the public key of an X.509 certificate to the standard output.  This is handy in getting fedids for the various [FeddDatabases databases] that `fedd` uses.  The command is invoked with 0 or more '''--attribute='''''attr'' parameters and 0 or more filenames.  The command prints the fedids and the attributes in the format of a [FeddDatabases#GlobalAccessDB global access database] and can be used directly to construct those files.  For example, this invocation:

+{{{
+$ fedid.py --attribute=split --attribute=allocate fedd.pem deterboss.pem
