69 | <title>Description</title> | |
70 | ||
71 | <para><filename>sd-id128.h</filename> provides APIs to process and | |
72 | generate 128-bit ID values. The 128-bit ID values processed and | |
73 | generated by these APIs are a generalization of OSF UUIDs as | |
74 | defined by <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122">RFC | |
75 | 4122</ulink> but use a simpler string format. These functions | |
76 | impose no structure on the used IDs, much unlike OSF UUIDs or | |
77 | Microsoft GUIDs, but are fully compatible with those types of IDs. | |
78 | </para> | |

85 | for more information about the implemented functions.</para> | |
86 | ||
87 | <para>A 128-bit ID is implemented as the following | |
88 | union type:</para> | |
89 | ||
90 | <programlisting>typedef union sd_id128 { | |
91 | uint8_t bytes[16]; | |
92 | uint64_t qwords[2]; | |
12355095 LP |
93 | } sd_id128_t;</programlisting> |
94 | ||
798d3a52 ZJS |
95 | <para>This union type allows accessing the 128-bit ID as 16 |
96 | separate bytes or two 64-bit words. It is generally safer to | |
97 | access the ID components by their 8-bit array to avoid endianness | |
98 | issues. This union is intended to be passed call-by-value (as | |
99 | opposed to call-by-reference) and may be directly manipulated by | |
100 | clients.</para> | |
101 | ||
102 | <para>A couple of macros are defined to denote and decode 128-bit | |
103 | IDs:</para> | |
104 | ||
105 | <para><function>SD_ID128_MAKE()</function> may be used to denote a | |
106 | constant 128-bit ID in source code. A commonly used idiom is to | |
107 | assign a name to a 128-bit ID using this macro:</para> | |
108 | ||
109 | <programlisting>#define SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP SD_ID128_MAKE(fc,2e,22,bc,6e,e6,47,b6,b9,07,29,ab,34,a2,50,b1)</programlisting> | |
110 | ||
111 | <para><function>SD_ID128_CONST_STR()</function> may be used to | |
112 | convert constant 128-bit IDs into constant strings for output. The | |
113 | following example code will output the string | |
114 | "fc2e22bc6ee647b6b90729ab34a250b1":</para> | |
115 | <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { | |
116 | puts(SD_ID128_CONST_STR(SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP)); | |
183de6d7 LP |
117 | }</programlisting> |
118 | ||
798d3a52 ZJS |
119 | <para><function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</function> and |
120 | <function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</function> may be used to format a | |
121 | 128-bit ID in a | |
122 | <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
123 | format string, as shown in the following example:</para> | |
124 | ||
125 | <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { | |
126 | sd_id128_t id; | |
127 | id = SD_ID128_MAKE(ee,89,be,71,bd,6e,43,d6,91,e6,c5,5d,eb,03,02,07); | |
128 | printf("The ID encoded in this C file is " SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR ".\n", SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL(id)); | |
129 | return 0; | |
12355095 LP |
130 | }</programlisting> |
131 | ||
798d3a52 | 132 | <para>Use <function>sd_id128_equal()</function> to compare two 128-bit IDs:</para> |
12355095 | 133 | |
798d3a52 ZJS |
134 | <programlisting>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { |
135 | sd_id128_t a, b, c; | |
136 | a = SD_ID128_MAKE(ee,89,be,71,bd,6e,43,d6,91,e6,c5,5d,eb,03,02,07); | |
137 | b = SD_ID128_MAKE(f2,28,88,9c,5f,09,44,15,9d,d7,04,77,58,cb,e7,3e); | |
138 | c = a; | |
139 | assert(sd_id128_equal(a, c)); | |
140 | assert(!sd_id128_equal(a, b)); | |
141 | return 0; | |
12355095 LP |
142 | }</programlisting> |
