+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBsd_id128_to_string()\fR
+formats a 128\-bit ID as a character string\&. It expects the ID and a string array capable of storing 33 characters (\fBSD_ID128_STRING_MAX\fR)\&. The ID will be formatted as 32 lowercase hexadecimal digits and be terminated by a
+\fBNUL\fR
+byte\&.
+.PP
+\fBSD_ID128_TO_STRING()\fR
+is a macro that wraps
+\fBsd_id128_to_string()\fR
+and passes an appropriately sized buffer as second argument, allocated as C99 compound literal\&. Each use will thus implicitly acquire a suitable buffer on the stack which remains valid until the end of the current code block\&. This is usually the simplest way to acquire a string representation of a 128\-bit ID in a buffer that is valid in the current code block\&.
+.PP
+\fBsd_id128_to_uuid_string()\fR
+and
+\fBSD_ID128_TO_UUID_STRING()\fR
+are similar to these two functions/macros, but format the 128\-bit values as RFC4122 UUIDs, i\&.e\&. a series of 36 lowercase hexadeciaml digits and dashes, terminated by a
+\fBNUL\fR
+byte\&.
+.PP
+\fBsd_id128_from_string()\fR
+implements the reverse operation: it takes a 33 character string with 32 hexadecimal digits (either lowercase or uppercase, terminated by
+\fBNUL\fR) and parses them back into a 128\-bit ID returned in
+\fIret\fR\&. Alternatively, this call can also parse a 37\-character string with a 128\-bit ID formatted as RFC UUID\&. If
+\fIret\fR
+is passed as
+\fBNULL\fR
+the function will validate the passed ID string, but not actually return it in parsed form\&.
+.PP
+Note that when formatting and parsing 36 character UUIDs this is done strictly in Big Endian byte order, i\&.e\&. according to
+\m[blue]\fBRFC4122\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
+Variant 1 rules, even if the UUID encodes a different variant\&. This matches behaviour in various other Linux userspace tools\&. It\*(Aqs probably wise to avoid UUIDs of other variant types\&.
+.PP
+For more information about the
+"sd_id128_t"
+type see
+\fBsd-id128\fR(3)\&. Note that these calls operate the same way on all architectures, i\&.e\&. the results do not depend on endianness\&.
+.PP
+When formatting a 128\-bit ID into a string, it is often easier to use a format string for
+\fBprintf\fR(3)\&. This is easily done using the
+\fBSD_ID128_FORMAT_STR\fR
+and
+\fBSD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()\fR
+macros\&. For more information see
+\fBsd-id128\fR(3)\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+\fBsd_id128_to_string()\fR
+always succeeds and returns a pointer to the string array passed in\&.
+\fBsd_id128_from_string()\fR
+returns 0 on success, in which case
+\fIret\fR
+is filled in, or a negative errno\-style error code\&.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with the
+\fBlibsystemd\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
+file\&.
+.PP
+The code described here uses
+\fBgetenv\fR(3), which is declared to be not multi\-thread\-safe\&. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not call
+\fBsetenv\fR(3)
+from a parallel thread\&. It is recommended to only do calls to
+\fBsetenv()\fR
+from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started\&.
+.SH "HISTORY"

+and
+\fBsd_id128_from_string()\fR
+were added in version 187\&.
+.PP
+\fBsd_id128_uuid_string()\fR
