+ <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="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122">RFC
+ 4122</ulink> but use a simpler string format. 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.

+ 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_NULL</function> may be used to refer to the 128bit ID consisting of only NUL
+ bytes.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SD_ID128_MAKE_STR()</function> is similar to <function>SD_ID128_MAKE()</function>, but creates a
+ <type>const char*</type> expression that can be conveniently used in message formats and such:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
+#define SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP_STR SD_ID128_MAKE_STR(fc,2e,22,bc,6e,e6,47,b6,b9,07,29,ab,34,a2,50,b1)
+
+int main(int argc, char **argv) {
+ puts("Match for coredumps: MESSAGE_ID=" SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP_STR);
+}
+ </programlisting>
+
+ <para><function>SD_ID128_CONST_STR()</function> may be used to
+ convert constant 128-bit IDs into constant strings for output. The
+ following example code will output the string
+ "fc2e22bc6ee647b6b90729ab34a250b1":</para>
+ <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
+ puts("Match for coredumps: %s", 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 project='man-pages'><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>Use <function>sd_id128_is_null()</function> to check if an 128bit ID consists of only NUL bytes:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
+ assert(sd_id128_is_null(SD_ID128_NULL));
+}</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Note that new, randomized IDs may be generated with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+ <command>new</command> command.</para>
