unique file identification id

[eastern_strider]

I guess this is both an operating systems and C/C++ related question:

Are files identified by some unique ids that don't change even if the
file is moved to another directory?

If yes, are there functions in C/C++ that helps me to learn these ids?

Thanks a lot,

Depends.

If yes, are there functions in C/C++ that helps me to learn these ids?
