Description

In the examples section of https://docs.mongodb.com/database-tools/mongofiles/:

To fetch the file from the GridFS collection in the records database with _id: ObjectId("56feac751f417d0357e7140f"), you can use the following command:

mongofiles -d=records get_id 'ObjectId("56feac751f417d0357e7140f")'

Running this command resulted in an error:

Failed: error parsing id as Extended JSON: invalid JSON number. Position: 18

The correct command should be:

mongofiles -d=test get_id '{"$oid": "56feac751f417d0357e7140f"}'

Note that this incorrect example has caused some confusion in the Developer Forums.
