This is the case because the ID128 we generate are all marked as v4 UUID which requires that some bits are zero and others are one. Let's document this so that people can rely on SD_ID128_NULL being a special value for "uninitialized" that is always distinguishable from generated UUIDs.

<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 thes 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>
