No, that is not required. You can use glfs_h_lookupat() with the full
path. Note that glfs_h_extract_handle() just does a memcpy() of the GFID
into the given (unsigned char*), the format is of 'uuid_t'.

Attached is the modified test that shows the UUID without the need for a
lookup of each component of the directory (a LOOKUP will be done by
gfapi if needed).

  $ make CFLAGS="-lgfapi -luuid" resolve
  cc -lgfapi -luuid    resolve.c   -o resolve
  $ ./resolve storage.example.com media resolve.log

The handle-API is used heavily by NFS-Ganesha (because NFS uses filehandles more than filenames), and extracts the GFID from the 'struct glfs_object' with glfs_h_extract_handle(). A basic example of how to obtain and extract the handle is in https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/tests/basic/gfapi/bug1291259.c
