- <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="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122">RFC
- 4122</ulink>, though use a simpler string
- formatting. 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.

- <para>See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_to_string</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_randomize</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
- <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 128bit 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><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
- <literal>--new-id</literal> option.</para>

- which can be compiled and linked to with the
