This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.

|

<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.</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.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that <function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function> always
|
||
returns a UUID v4 compatible ID.
|
||
<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
