<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 irreversable (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. The application-specific ID should be generated via
a tool like <command>journalctl --new-id128</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.</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>
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>.</para>
<para>For more information about the <literal>sd_id128_t</literal>
type see

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>Those calls return 0 on success (in which case <parameter>ret</parameter> is filled in),
or a negative errno-style error code. In particular, <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function>
and <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> return <constant>-ENOENT</constant>
if <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is missing, and <constant>-ENOMEDIUM</constant> if is
empty or all zeros.</para>

<title>Examples</title>
<example>
<title>Application-specific machine ID</title>
<para>Here's a simple example for an application specific machine ID:</para>
<programlisting>#include <systemd/sd-id128.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define OUR_APPLICATION_ID SD_ID128_MAKE(c2,73,27,73,23,db,45,4e,a6,3b,b9,6e,79,b5,3e,97)
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
sd_id128_t id;
sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific(OUR_APPLICATION_ID, &id);
printf("Our application ID: " SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR "\n", SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL(id));
return 0;
}</programlisting>
