    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>id128</command> may be used to conveniently print
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    UUIDs. What identifier is printed depends on the specific verb.</para>

    <para>With <command>new</command>, a new random identifier will be generated.</para>

    <para>With <command>machine-id</command>, the identifier of the current machine will be
    printed. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <para>With <command>boot-id</command>, the identifier of the current boot will be
    printed.</para>

    <para>Both <command>machine-id</command> and <command>boot-id</command> may be combined
    with the <option>--app-specific=<replaceable>app-id</replaceable></option> switch to
    generate application-specific IDs. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_machine</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for the discussion when this is useful.</para>

    <para>With <command>invocation-id</command>, the identifier of the current service invocation
    will be printed. This is available in systemd services. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <title>Options</title>

    <para>The following options are understood:</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>-p</option></term>
        <term><option>--pretty</option></term>

        <term><option>--app-specific=<replaceable>app-id</replaceable></option></term>

        <listitem><para>With this option, an identifier that is the result of hashing the
        application identifier <replaceable>app-id</replaceable> and the machine identifier will be
        printed. The <replaceable>app-id</replaceable> argument must be a valid sd-id128 string
        identifying the application.</para>
