The random-seed format consists of: 1. 512 bytes of random seed data for compatibility with other random seed implementations 2. The magic string "RANDOM SEED FILE VERSION 1". 3. A series of line delimited commands with space delimited arguments. Comments are not supported. # Hashing In an attempt to improve privacy, device IDs are hashed with SHA256(random-data || ID) where || denotes concatenation and random-data is the 512 bytes of random data at the start of the file. # Commands ## salt Set the salt for the following commands to the argument. This must be the first command. ## machine-id Check that the contents of `/etc/machine-id`, when hashed, matches the argument. ## fs-id Check that calling statfs(2) on the random seed file returns a `f_fsid` that when hashed, matches the argument. ## fs-uuid Check that the UUID of the random seed file system, when hashed as a string, matches the argument. ## drive-id Check that the ID as determined by udev of the random seed file system, when hashed as a string, matches the argument. ## done End of mandatory commands.
