bagID

bagID - number of the bag (1 -- NUM_BAG_SLOTS+NUM_BANKBAGSLOTS) to get the inventoryID for.

inventoryID

inventoryID - the bag's inventory ID used in functions like PutItemInBag(inventoryId) and GetInventoryItemLink("player",inventoryId)

local invID = ContainerIDToInventoryID(1)  
local bagLink = GetInventoryItemLink("player",invID)
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Bag slot 1 is inventory slot "..invID..", a "..bagLink)

Notes

Querying for items outside the range 1 -- (NUM_BAG_SLOTS+NUM_BANKBAGSLOTS) throws an error.

The bank bags begin at container 5 (1+NUM_BAG_SLOTS) -- currently inventory slot 68.
