- generate message IDs
/usr/sbin/msgid
Themsgid utility generates message IDs.
A message ID is a numeric identifier that uniquely identifies a message.Although the probability of two distinct messages having the same ID ishigh, this can be greatly reduced with the appropriate priority or facility.leveldesignator (seesyslogd(1M)). Specifically, the message ID is a hash signature onthe message's unexpanded format string, generated bySTRLOG_MAKE_MSGID() as defined in<sys/strlog.h>.
syslogd(1M) is a simple filter that takes strings as input and producesthose same strings, preceded by their message IDs, as output. Every messagelogged bysyslogd(1M) includes the message ID. The message ID is intendedto serve as a small, language-independent identifier.
