After the introduction of a 128-bit node identity it may be difficult for a user to correlate between this identity and the generated node hash address. We now try to make this easier by introducing a new ioctl() call for fetching a node identity by using the hash value as key. This will be particularly useful when we extend some of the commands in the 'tipc' tool, but we also expect regular user applications to need this feature.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
