<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> returns the machine ID of the executing host. This reads and
parses the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file. This function caches the machine ID internally to make retrieving the machine ID a cheap operation. This ID
may be used wherever a unique identifier for the local system is needed. However, it is recommended to use this ID
as-is only in trusted environments. In untrusted environments it is recommended to derive an application specific
ID from this machine ID, in an irreversible (cryptographically secure) way. To make this easy
<function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> is provided, see below.</para>
<para><function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function>, but retrieves a machine ID that is specific to the application that is
identified by the indicated application ID. It is recommended to use this function instead of
<function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> when passing an ID to untrusted environments, in order to make sure
that the original machine ID may not be determined externally. This way, the ID used by the application remains
stable on a given machine, but cannot be easily correlated with IDs used in other applications on the same
machine. The application-specific ID should be generated via a tool like <command>systemd-id128 new</command>,
and may be compiled into the application. This function will return the same application-specific ID for each
combination of machine ID and application ID. Internally, this function calculates HMAC-SHA256 of the application
ID, keyed by the machine ID.</para>
<para><function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function> returns the boot ID of the executing kernel. This reads and parses
the <filename>/proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id</filename> file exposed by the kernel. It is randomly generated early
at boot and is unique for every running kernel instance. See <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>random</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more
information. This function also internally caches the returned ID to make this call a cheap operation. It is
recommended to use this ID as-is only in trusted environments. In untrusted environments it is recommended to
derive an application specific ID using <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function>, see below.</para>
<para><function>sd_id128_get_boot_app_specific()</function> is analogous to
<function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> but returns an ID that changes between boots. Some
machines may be used for a long time without rebooting, hence the boot ID may remain constant for a long time, and
has properties similar to the machine ID during that time.</para>
<para><function>sd_id128_get_invocation()</function> returns the invocation ID of the currently executed
service. In its current implementation, this reads and parses the <varname>$INVOCATION_ID</varname> environment
variable that the service manager sets when activating a service, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details. The
ID is cached internally. In future a different mechanism to determine the invocation ID may be added.</para>
<para>Note that <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function>,
<function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function>, <function>sd_id128_get_boot_app_specific()</function>, and
<function>sd_id128_get_invocation()</function> always return UUID v4 compatible IDs.
<function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> will also return a UUID v4-compatible ID on new installations
but might not on older. It is possible to convert the machine ID into a UUID v4-compatible one. For more
information, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. It is
hence guaranteed that these functions will never return the ID consisting of all zero or all one bits
(<constant>SD_ID128_NULL</constant>, <constant>SD_ID128_ALLF</constant>) — with the possible exception of
<function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function>, as mentioned.</para>

<title>Examples</title>
<example>
<title>Application-specific machine ID</title>
<para>First, generate the application ID:</para>
<programlisting>$ systemd-id128 -p new
As string:
c273277323db454ea63bb96e79b53e97
As UUID:
c2732773-23db-454e-a63b-b96e79b53e97
As man:sd-id128(3) macro:
#define MESSAGE_XYZ SD_ID128_MAKE(c2,73,27,73,23,db,45,4e,a6,3b,b9,6e,79,b5,3e,97)
...
</programlisting>
<para>Then use the new identifier in an example application:</para>
<programlisting><xi:include href="id128-app-specific.c" parse="text" /></programlisting>
</example>
