- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><filename>sd-id128.h</filename> provides APIs to process and
- generate 128-bit ID values. The 128-bit ID values processed and
- generated by these APIs are a generalization of OSF UUIDs as
- defined by <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122">RFC
- 4122</ulink> but use a simpler string format. These functions
- impose no structure on the used IDs, much unlike OSF UUIDs or
- Microsoft GUIDs, but are fully compatible with those types of IDs.

- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_machine</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for more information about the implemented functions.</para>
-
- <para>A 128-bit ID is implemented as the following
- union type:</para>
-
- <programlisting>typedef union sd_id128 {
- uint8_t bytes[16];
- uint64_t qwords[2];
-} sd_id128_t;</programlisting>
-
- <para>This union type allows accessing the 128-bit ID as 16
- separate bytes or two 64-bit words. It is generally safer to
- access the ID components by their 8-bit array to avoid endianness
- issues. This union is intended to be passed call-by-value (as
- opposed to call-by-reference) and may be directly manipulated by
- clients.</para>
-
- <para>A couple of macros are defined to denote and decode 128-bit
- IDs:</para>
-
- <para><function>SD_ID128_MAKE()</function> may be used to denote a
- constant 128-bit ID in source code. A commonly used idiom is to
- assign a name to a 128-bit ID using this macro:</para>
-
- <programlisting>#define SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP SD_ID128_MAKE(fc,2e,22,bc,6e,e6,47,b6,b9,07,29,ab,34,a2,50,b1)</programlisting>
-
- <para><function>SD_ID128_CONST_STR()</function> may be used to
- convert constant 128-bit IDs into constant strings for output. The
- following example code will output the string
- "fc2e22bc6ee647b6b90729ab34a250b1":</para>
- <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
- puts(SD_ID128_CONST_STR(SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP));
-}</programlisting>
-
- <para><function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</function> and
- <function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</function> may be used to format a
- 128-bit ID in a
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- format string, as shown in the following example:</para>
-
- <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
- sd_id128_t id;
- id = SD_ID128_MAKE(ee,89,be,71,bd,6e,43,d6,91,e6,c5,5d,eb,03,02,07);
- printf("The ID encoded in this C file is " SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR ".\n", SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL(id));
- return 0;
-}</programlisting>
-
- <para>Use <function>sd_id128_equal()</function> to compare two 128-bit IDs:</para>
-
- <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
- sd_id128_t a, b, c;
- a = SD_ID128_MAKE(ee,89,be,71,bd,6e,43,d6,91,e6,c5,5d,eb,03,02,07);
- b = SD_ID128_MAKE(f2,28,88,9c,5f,09,44,15,9d,d7,04,77,58,cb,e7,3e);
- c = a;
- assert(sd_id128_equal(a, c));
- assert(!sd_id128_equal(a, b));
- return 0;
-}</programlisting>
-
- <para>Note that new, randomized IDs may be generated with
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journalctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
- <option>--new-id</option> option.</para>
