83 | ||
70fc4f57 LP |
84 | <para><function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> returns the machine ID of the executing host. This reads and |
85 | parses the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
86 | file. This function caches the machine ID internally to make retrieving the machine ID a cheap operation. This ID | |
87 | may be used wherever a unique identifier for the local system is needed. However, it is recommended to use this ID | |
88 | as-is only in trusted environments. In untrusted environments it is recommended to derive an application specific | |
89 | ID from this machine ID, in an irreversable (cryptographically secure) way. To make this easy | |
90 | <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> is provided, see below.</para> | |
91 | ||
92 | <para><function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> is similar to | |
93 | <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function>, but retrieves a machine ID that is specific to the application that is | |
94 | identified by the indicated application ID. It is recommended to use this function instead of | |
95 | <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> when passing an ID to untrusted environments, in order to make sure | |
96 | that the original machine ID may not be determined externally. The application-specific ID should be generated via | |
97 | a tool like <command>journalctl --new-id128</command>, and may be compiled into the application. This function will | |
98 | return the same application-specific ID for each combination of machine ID and application ID. Internally, this | |
99 | function calculates HMAC-SHA256 of the application ID, keyed by the machine ID.</para> | |
798d3a52 ZJS |
100 | |
101 | <para><function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function> returns the boot ID | |
102 | of the executing kernel. This reads and parses the | |
103 | <filename>/proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id</filename> file exposed | |
104 | by the kernel. It is randomly generated early at boot and is | |
105 | unique for every running kernel instance. See | |
106 | <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>random</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
107 | for more information. This function also internally caches the | |
108 | returned ID to make this call a cheap operation.</para> | |
109 | ||
4b58153d LP |
110 | <para><function>sd_id128_get_invocation()</function> returns the invocation ID of the currently executed |
111 | service. In its current implementation, this reads and parses the <varname>$INVOCATION_ID</varname> environment | |
112 | variable that the service manager sets when activating a service, see | |
113 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details. The | |
114 | ID is cached internally. In future a different mechanism to determine the invocation ID may be added.</para> | |
115 | ||
70fc4f57 LP |
116 | <para>Note that <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function>, <function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function> |
117 | and <function>sd_id128_get_invocation()</function> always return UUID v4 compatible IDs. | |
118 | <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> will also return a UUID v4-compatible ID on new installations but might | |
119 | not on older. It is possible to convert the machine ID into a UUID v4-compatible one. For more information, see | |
