<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function> formats a 128-bit
ID as a character string. It expects the ID and a string array
capable of storing 33 characters. The ID will be formatted as 32
lowercase hexadecimal digits and be terminated by a
<constant>NUL</constant> byte.</para>
<para><function>sd_id128_from_string()</function> implements the reverse operation: it takes a 33 character string
with 32 hexadecimal digits (either lowercase or uppercase, terminated by <constant>NUL</constant>) and parses them
back into a 128-bit ID returned in <parameter>ret</parameter>. Alternatively, this call can also parse a
37-character string with a 128-bit ID formatted as RFC UUID. If <parameter>ret</parameter> is passed as NULL the
function will validate the passed ID string, but not actually return it in parsed form.</para>
<para>For more information about the <literal>sd_id128_t</literal>
type see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Note that these calls operate the same way on all architectures,
i.e. the results do not depend on endianness.</para>
<para>When formatting a 128-bit ID into a string, it is often
easier to use a format string for
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
This is easily done using the
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</function> and
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</function> macros. For more
information see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function> always succeeds
and returns a pointer to the string array passed in.
<function>sd_id128_from_string</function> returns 0 on success, in
which case <parameter>ret</parameter> is filled in, or a negative
errno-style error code.</para>

<title>Notes</title>
<para>The <function>sd_id128_to_string()</function> and
<function>sd_id128_from_string()</function> interfaces are
available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to
with the
<literal>libsystemd</literal> <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para>
