Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 7d6b27238f man: xinclude the generic text to talk about libsystemd pkgconfig
The only difference is that functions are not individually listed by name,
but that seems completely pointless, since all functions that are documented
are always exported, so the generic text tells the user all she or he needs
to know.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function> formats a 128-bit
ID as a character string. It expects the ID and a string array
capable of storing 33 characters. The ID will be formatted as 32
lowercase hexadecimal digits and be terminated by a
<constant>NUL</constant> byte.</para>
<para><function>sd_id128_from_string()</function> implements the reverse operation: it takes a 33 character string
with 32 hexadecimal digits (either lowercase or uppercase, terminated by <constant>NUL</constant>) and parses them
back into a 128-bit ID returned in <parameter>ret</parameter>. Alternatively, this call can also parse a
37-character string with a 128-bit ID formatted as RFC UUID. If <parameter>ret</parameter> is passed as NULL the
function will validate the passed ID string, but not actually return it in parsed form.</para>
<para>For more information about the <literal>sd_id128_t</literal>
type see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Note that these calls operate the same way on all architectures,
i.e. the results do not depend on endianness.</para>
<para>When formatting a 128-bit ID into a string, it is often
easier to use a format string for
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
This is easily done using the
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</function> and
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</function> macros. For more
information see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function> always succeeds
and returns a pointer to the string array passed in.
<function>sd_id128_from_string</function> returns 0 on success, in
which case <parameter>ret</parameter> is filled in, or a negative
errno-style error code.</para>
