Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek b477c6949a man/systemd-id128: fix example
The example was supposed to show how
machine-id/new/machine-id --app-specific/show --app-specific tie together, but
the verb was ommitted.

I also extended the explanation a bit and used long option form in the first
example for more clarity. In the second, more complicated example, the
one-letter form is used for brevity.

Noticed in post-review:

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>id128</command> may be used to conveniently print
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
UUIDs. What identifier is printed depends on the specific verb.</para>
<para>With <command>new</command>, a new random identifier will be generated.</para>
<para>With <command>machine-id</command>, the identifier of the current machine will be
printed. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>With <command>boot-id</command>, the identifier of the current boot will be
printed.</para>
<para>With <command>invocation-id</command>, the identifier of the current service invocation
will be printed. This is available in systemd services. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>With <command>show</command>, well-known IDs are printed (for now, only GPT partition type UUIDs),
along with brief identifier strings. When no arguments are specified, all known IDs are shown. When
arguments are specified, they may be the identifiers or ID values of one or more known IDs, which are
then printed with their name, or arbitrary IDs, which are then printed with a placeholder name. Combine
with <option>--uuid</option> to list the IDs in UUID style, i.e. the way GPT partition type UUIDs are
usually shown.</para>
<para><command>machine-id</command>, <command>boot-id</command>, and <command>show</command> may be
combined with the <option>--app-specific=<replaceable>app-id</replaceable></option> switch to generate
application-specific IDs. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_machine</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the discussion when this is useful. Support for <command>show --app-specific=</command> was added in
version 255.</para>

described in

used with <command>boot-id</command>, the other ID will be the boot ID, and when used with

<para>On a given machine with the ID 3a9d668b-4db7-4939-8a4a-5e78a03bffb7, for the application
1fb8f24b-02df-458d-9659-cc8ace68e28a, we generate an application-specific machine ID
(47b82cb1-5339-43da-b2a6-1c350aef1bd1). If we want to later recreate the same calculation on a
different machine, we need to specify both IDs explicitly as parameters to <command>show</command>.
