<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<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 project='man-pages'><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><function>sd_id128_get_invocation()</function> returns the invocation ID of the currently executed
|
||
service. In its current implementation, this reads and parses the <varname>$INVOCATION_ID</varname> environment
|
||
variable that the service manager sets when activating a service, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details. The
|
||
ID is cached internally. In future a different mechanism to determine the invocation ID may be added.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that <function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function> and <function>sd_id128_get_invocation()</function> always
|
||
return UUID v4 compatible IDs. <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 a UUID v4-compatible
|
||
one. For more information, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

errno-style error code.</para>
