+    Returns the local machine ID as known to the D-Bus system. Each
+    node or host that runs D-Bus has a unique identifier that can be
+    used to distinguish it from other hosts if they are sharing
+    resources like the filesystem.
+
+    Note that the local machine ID is not guaranteed to be persistent
+    across boots of the system, so this identifier should not be
+    stored in persistent storage (like the filesystem). It is
+    guaranteed to remain constant only during the lifetime of this
+    boot session.
