The caller must ensure that the + UUID passed is sufficiently unique and is different + for every booted instanced of the VM. + + 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 Container + Interface. + + + + + Options + + This tool does not take any options or arguments. + + + + Exit status + + On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure + code otherwise. + + + + See Also + + systemd1, + machine-id5, + dbus-uuidgen1 + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
