sd_id128_randomize
Generate 128-bit IDs
#include <systemd/sd-id128.h>
int sd_id128_randomize
sd_id128_t *ret
Description
sd_id128_randomize() generates a new randomized 128-bit ID and returns it in
ret. Every invocation returns a new randomly generated ID. This uses the
getrandom2
kernel random number generator.
Note that sd_id128_randomize() always returns a UUID Variant 1 Version 4
compatible ID. It is hence guaranteed that this function will never return the ID consisting of all zero
or all one bits (SD_ID128_NULL, SD_ID128_ALLF).
For more information about the sd_id128_t
type, see
sd-id1283.
systemd-id1281's
new command may be used as a command line front-end for
sd_id128_randomize().
Return Value
The call returns 0 on success (in which case
ret is filled in), or a negative
errno-style error code.
History
sd_id128_randomize() was added in version 187.
