+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><command>systemd-machine-id-setup</command> may be used by
+    system installer tools to initialize the machine ID stored in
+    <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> at install time, with a
+    provisioned or randomly generated ID. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for more information about this file.</para>
+
+    <para>If the tool is invoked without the <option>--commit</option>
+    switch, <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is initialized with a
+    valid, new machine ID if it is missing or empty. The new machine
+    ID will be acquired in the following fashion:</para>
+
+    <orderedlist>
+      <listitem><para>If a valid D-Bus machine ID is already
+      configured for the system, the D-Bus machine ID is copied and
+      used to initialize the machine ID in
+      <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID
+      is configured (via the <option>-uuid</option>
+      option), this UUID is used to initialize the machine ID. The
+      caller must ensure that the UUID passed is sufficiently unique
+      and is different for every booted instance of the
+      VM.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>Similarly, if run inside a Linux container environment and a UUID is configured for the
+      container, this is used to initialize the machine ID. For details, see the documentation of the <ulink
+      url="https://systemd.io/CONTAINER_INTERFACE">Container Interface</ulink>.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>Otherwise, a new ID is randomly
+      generated.</para></listitem>
+    </orderedlist>
+
+    <para>The <option>--commit</option> switch may be used to commit a
+    transient machined ID to disk, making it persistent. For details,
+    see below.</para>
+
+    <para>Use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to initialize the machine ID on mounted (but not booted) system
+    images.</para>

+        <listitem><para>Takes a directory path as argument. All paths operated on will be prefixed with the

+      </varlistentry>
+
+      <varlistentry>
+        <term><option>--image=<replaceable>path</replaceable></option></term>
+        <listitem><para>Takes a path to a device node or regular file as argument. This is similar to
+        <option>--root=</option> as described above, but operates on a disk image instead of a directory
+        tree.</para></listitem>
+      </varlistentry>
+
+      <varlistentry>
+        <term><option>--commit</option></term>
+        <listitem><para>Commit a transient machine ID to disk. This
+        command may be used to convert a transient machine ID into a
+        persistent one. A transient machine ID file is one that was
+        bind mounted from a memory file system (usually
+        <literal>tmpfs</literal>) to
+        <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> during the early phase of
+        the boot process. This may happen because
+        <filename>/etc/</filename> is initially read-only and was
+        missing a valid machine ID file at that point.</para>
+
+        <para>This command will execute no operation if
+        <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is not mounted from a
+        memory file system, or if <filename>/etc/</filename> is
+        read-only. The command will write the current transient
+        machine ID to disk and unmount the
+        <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> mount point in a
+        race-free manner to ensure that this file is always valid and
+        accessible for other processes.</para>
+
+        <para>This command is primarily used by the
+        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machine-id-commit.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+        early boot service.</para></listitem>
