Shift the asterisks in the documentation's prototypes such that they are consistent among each other. Use the right side to match what is used in source code. Addendum to commit v209~82.

<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.</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><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

<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>
