So in theory UUID Variant 2 (i.e. microsoft GUIDs) are supposed to be displayed in native endian. That is of course a bad idea, and Linux userspace generally didn't implement that, i.e. uuidd and similar. Hence, let's not bother either, but let's document that we treat everything the same as Variant 1, even if it declares something else.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_id128_randomize()</function> generates a new
|
|
randomized 128-bit ID and returns it in
|
|
<parameter>ret</parameter>. Every invocation returns a new
|
|
randomly generated ID. This uses the
|
|
<filename>/dev/urandom</filename> kernel random number
|
|
generator.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <function>sd_id128_randomize()</function> 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 (<constant>SD_ID128_NULL</constant>, <constant>SD_ID128_ALLF</constant>).</para>
