Moving them out makes it easier to run them through a compiler, use automatic indentation, and opens the possibility to provide a download link in the future. I verified that all examples compile cleanly. (2-space indentation is used because the examples are already significantly indented in the man page, and we need to keep them narrow so that they display well on standard terminals.)

<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. This ID
|
|
may be used wherever a unique identifier for the local system is needed. However, it is recommended to use this ID
|
|
as-is only in trusted environments. In untrusted environments it is recommended to derive an application specific
|
|
ID from this machine ID, in an irreversable (cryptographically secure) way. To make this easy
|
|
<function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> is provided, see below.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> is similar to
|
|
<function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function>, but retrieves a machine ID that is specific to the application that is
|
|
identified by the indicated application ID. It is recommended to use this function instead of
|
|
<function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> when passing an ID to untrusted environments, in order to make sure
|
|
that the original machine ID may not be determined externally. The application-specific ID should be generated via
|
|
a tool like <command>journalctl --new-id128</command>, and may be compiled into the application. This function will
|
|
return the same application-specific ID for each combination of machine ID and application ID. Internally, this
|
|
function calculates HMAC-SHA256 of the application ID, keyed by the machine ID.</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_machine_app_specific()</function>, <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
|
|

<title>Return Value</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Those calls return 0 on success (in which case <parameter>ret</parameter> is filled in),
|
|
or a negative errno-style error code. In particular, <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function>
|
|
and <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> return <constant>-ENOENT</constant>
|
|
if <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is missing, and <constant>-ENOMEDIUM</constant> if is
|
|
empty or all zeros.</para>
