host-identity 1.1.1

Stable, collision-resistant host identity resolution across platforms, container runtimes, cloud providers, and Kubernetes
Documentation
//! NetBSD / OpenBSD: `sysctl kern.hostid`.
//!
//! Authoritative references:
//!
//! - NetBSD [`sysctl(7)` kern.hostid](https://man.netbsd.org/sysctl.7) and
//!   [`sethostid(3)`](https://man.netbsd.org/sethostid.3) — define
//!   `kern.hostid` as a 32-bit integer, with `0` meaning "not set."
//! - OpenBSD [`sysctl(8)`](https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.8) and
//!   [`gethostid(3)`](https://man.openbsd.org/gethostid.3) — same contract.
//!
//! This source rejects `0` (decimal or any `0x`-prefixed hex form) because
//! both manpages explicitly document it as the unset sentinel.
//!
//! # Identity scope
//!
//! `SysctlKernHostId` is **per-host-OS**: `kern.hostid` is a kernel
//! variable tied to the OS install. NetBSD and OpenBSD don't ship
//! first-class container runtimes, but any tool that virtualises
//! `sysctl` shares the host's view by default, so the source
//! returns the host's identity from inside any such environment.
//! See `docs/algorithm.md` → "Identity scope".
//!
//! # Blocking behaviour
//!
//! Spawns `sysctl` synchronously. Healthy calls return in milliseconds,
//! but `sysctl` can block indefinitely if the kernel is unresponsive.
//! Callers that need a bounded resolver latency should wrap
//! [`crate::Resolver::resolve`] with their own timeout.
