|
|
|
<para><function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function>
|
|
returns the machine ID of the executing host. This
|
|
reads and parses the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
file. This function caches the machine ID internally
|
|
to make retrieving the machine ID a cheap
|
|
operation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function> returns
|
|
the boot ID of the executing kernel. This reads and
|
|
parses the
|
|
<filename>/proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id</filename>
|
|
file exposed by the kernel. It is randomly generated
|
|
early at boot and is unique for every running kernel
|
|
instance. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>random</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information. This function also internally
|
|
caches the returned ID to make this call a cheap
|
|
operation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that
|
|
<function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function> always returns
|
|
a UUID v4 compatible
|
|
ID. <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> will
|
|
also return a UUID v4 compatible ID on new
|
|
installations, but might not on older. It is possible
|
|
to convert the machine ID into an UUID v4 compatible
|
|
one. For more information see
|
