<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>
<para>See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_to_string</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_randomize</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 endianess 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 write a 128 bit ID in source code. A commonly used
idiom is to give 128 bit IDs names 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_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>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Notes</title>
<para>These APIs are implemented as a shared library,
which can be compiled and linked to with the
<literal>libsystemd-id128</literal>
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para>
