+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>sd-id128.h</filename> provides APIs to generate, convert, and compare 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
+ mostly compatible with those types of IDs.
+ </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 by value (as opposed to pass-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> is used to write a constant ID in source code. A commonly used
+ idiom is to assign a name to an 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><constant>SD_ID128_NULL</constant> defines an ID consisting of only <constant>NUL</constant> bytes
+ (i.e. all bits off).</para>
+
+ <para><constant>SD_ID128_ALLF</constant> defines an ID consisting of only <constant>0xFF</constant> bytes
+ (i.e. all bits on).</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> converts constant 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><constant>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</constant> and <function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</function> is used to
+ format an 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><constant>SD_ID128_UUID_FORMAT_STR</constant> and <function>SD_ID128_MAKE_UUID_STR()</function>
+ are similar to
+ <constant>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</constant> and <function>SD_ID128_MAKE_STR()</function>,
+ but include separating hyphens to conform to the
+ "<ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier#Format">canonical representation</ulink>".
+ They format the string based on <ulink
+ url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122">RFC4122</ulink> Variant 1 rules, i.e. converting from Big
+ Endian byte order. This matches behaviour of most other Linux userspace infrastructure. It's probably
+ best to avoid UUIDs of other variants, in order to avoid unnecessary ambiguities. All 128-bit IDs
+ generated by the sd-id128 APIs strictly conform to Variant 1 Version 4 UUIDs, as per RFC 4122.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_equal()</function> compares 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><function>sd_id128_string_equal()</function> is similar to <function>sd_id128_equal()</function>,
+ but the first ID is formatted as <type>const char*</type>. The same restrictions apply as to the first
+ argument of <function>sd_id128_from_string()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_is_null()</function> checks if an ID consists of only <constant>NUL</constant>
+ bytes:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>assert(sd_id128_is_null(SD_ID128_NULL));</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Similarly, <function>sd_id128_is_allf()</function> checks if an ID consists of only
+ <constant>0xFF</constant> bytes (all bits on):</para>
+
+ <programlisting>assert(sd_id128_is_allf(SD_ID128_ALLF));</programlisting>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_in_set_sentinel()</function> takes a list of IDs and returns true if the first
+ argument is equal to any of the subsequent arguments. The argument list is terminated by an
+ <constant>SD_ID128_NULL</constant> sentinel, which must be present.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_in_set()</function> is a convenience function that takes a list of IDs and
+ returns true if the first argument is equal to any of the subsequent arguments:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
+ sd_id12_t a = SD_ID128_MAKE(ee,89,be,71,bd,6e,43,d6,91,e6,c5,5d,eb,03,02,07);
+ assert(sd_id128_in_set(a, a));
+ assert(sd_id128_in_set(a, a, a));
+ assert(!sd_id128_in_set(a));
+ assert(!sd_id128_in_set(a,
+ SD_ID128_MAKE(f2,28,88,9c,5f,09,44,15,9d,d7,04,77,58,cb,e7,3e)
+ SD_ID128_MAKE(2f,88,28,5f,9c,44,09,9d,d7,15,77,04,bc,85,7e,e3)
+ SD_ID128_ALLF));
+ return 0;
+}
+</programlisting>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_in_set()</function> is defined as a macro over
+ <function>sd_id128_in_set_sentinel()</function>, adding the <constant>SD_ID128_NULL</constant> sentinel
+ automatically. Since <function>sd_id128_in_set_sentinel()</function> uses
+ <constant>SD_ID128_NULL</constant> as the sentinel, <constant>SD_ID128_NULL</constant> cannot be
+ otherwise placed in the argument list.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_in_setv()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_id128_in_set_sentinel()</function>, but takes a <structname>struct varargs</structname>
+ argument.</para>
