Retrieves the identifier of the hardware Truxton is running on.

Syntax

void truxton_get_device_id( uint64_t trutxon_handle, char * destination_string, size_t max_size );

Parameters

truxton_handle

The handle created by the truxton_create call.

destination_string

The string to be written to.

max_size

The maximum number of characters that can be written to destination_string

Remarks

A device ID in Truxton is a GUID that uniquely identifies the machine. The source of this identifier is the BIOS of the computer running your program. It can be retrieved using wmic using these parameters:

wmic path Win32_ComputerSystemProduct get UUID

This identifier is also written to the bios_id field of the header of a Depot File.

Sample

void main()
{
    char id[256];

    truxton_start();

    uint64_t truxton = truxton_create();

    truxton_get_device_id(truxton, id, sizeof(id));

    printf("%s\n", id);

    truxton_destroy(truxton);

    truxton_stop();
}
