generate 128-bit ID values. The 128-bit ID values processed and
generated by these APIs are a generalization of OSF UUIDs as
defined by <a class="ulink" href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122" target="_top">RFC
4122</a> but use a simpler string format. These functions
impose no structure on the used IDs, much unlike OSF UUIDs or
Microsoft GUIDs, but are fully compatible with those types of IDs.

for more information about the implemented functions.</p><p>A 128-bit ID is implemented as the following
union type:</p><pre class="programlisting">typedef union sd_id128 {
uint8_t bytes[16];
uint64_t qwords[2];
} sd_id128_t;</pre><p>This union type allows accessing the 128-bit ID as 16
separate bytes or two 64-bit words. It is generally safer to
access the ID components by their 8-bit array to avoid endianness
issues. This union is intended to be passed call-by-value (as
opposed to call-by-reference) and may be directly manipulated by
clients.</p><p>A couple of macros are defined to denote and decode 128-bit
IDs:</p><p><code class="function">SD_ID128_MAKE()</code> may be used to denote a
constant 128-bit ID in source code. A commonly used idiom is to
assign a name to a 128-bit ID using this macro:</p><pre class="programlisting">#define SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP SD_ID128_MAKE(fc,2e,22,bc,6e,e6,47,b6,b9,07,29,ab,34,a2,50,b1)</pre><p><code class="function">SD_ID128_CONST_STR()</code> may be used to
convert constant 128-bit IDs into constant strings for output. The
following example code will output the string
"fc2e22bc6ee647b6b90729ab34a250b1":</p><pre class="programlisting">int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
puts(SD_ID128_CONST_STR(SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP));
}</pre><p><code class="function">SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</code> and
<code class="function">SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</code> may be used to format a
128-bit ID in a
<a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/printf.3.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">printf</span>(3)</span></a>
format string, as shown in the following example:</p><pre class="programlisting">int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
sd_id128_t id;
id = SD_ID128_MAKE(ee,89,be,71,bd,6e,43,d6,91,e6,c5,5d,eb,03,02,07);
printf("The ID encoded in this C file is " SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR ".\n", SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL(id));
return 0;
}</pre><p>Use <code class="function">sd_id128_equal()</code> to compare two 128-bit IDs:</p><pre class="programlisting">int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
sd_id128_t a, b, c;
a = SD_ID128_MAKE(ee,89,be,71,bd,6e,43,d6,91,e6,c5,5d,eb,03,02,07);
b = SD_ID128_MAKE(f2,28,88,9c,5f,09,44,15,9d,d7,04,77,58,cb,e7,3e);
c = a;
assert(sd_id128_equal(a, c));
assert(!sd_id128_equal(a, b));
return 0;
