|
|
|
<para><function>sd_id128_randomize()</function>
|
|
generates a new randomized 128 bit ID and returns it
|
|
in <parameter>ret</parameter>. Every invocation
|
|
returns a new randomly generated ID. This uses the
|
|
<filename>/dev/urandom</filename> kernel random number
|
|
generator.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that
|
|
<function>sd_id128_randomize()</function> always returns
|
|
a UUID v4 compatible
|
|
ID.</para>
