<para><function>sd_id128_randomize()</function>
|
||
generates a new randomized 128-bit ID and returns it
|
||
in <parameter>ret</parameter>. Every invocation
|
||
returns a new randomly generated ID. This uses the
|
||
<filename>/dev/urandom</filename> kernel random number
|
||
generator.</para>

|

<para>Note that
|
||
<function>sd_id128_randomize()</function> always returns

a UUID v4-compatible ID.</para>
