+
+ <para><command>systemd-machine-id-setup</command> may
+ be used by system installer tools to initialize the
+ machine ID stored in
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> at install time
+ with a randomly generated ID. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information about this file.</para>
+
+ <para>This tool will execute no operation if
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is already
+ initialized.</para>
+
+ <para>If a valid D-Bus machine ID is already
+ configured for the system the D-Bus machine ID is
+ copied and used to initialize the machine ID in
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID
+ is passed via the <option>-uuid</option> option this
+ UUID is used to initialize the machine ID instead of a
+ randomly generated one. The caller must ensure that the
+ UUID passed is sufficiently unique and is different
+ for every booted instanced of the VM.</para>
+
+ <para>Similar, if run inside a Linux container
+ environment and a UUID is set for the container this
+ is used to initialize the machine ID. For details see
+ the documentation of the <ulink
+ url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface">Container
+ Interface</ulink>.</para>
