.SH "NAME"
rc_mksid \- Generate a "unique" session-ID string.
.SH SYNOPSIS

);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP 
This function is retained only for source compatibility with freeradius-client and radiusclient-ng. It returns a pointer to a static non-reentrant buffer that is overwritten on each call, making it unsafe in multi-threaded applications. Use snprintf into your own buffer instead: 
.PP 
charsid[15];
.PP 
snprintf(sid,sizeof(sid),"%08lX%04X",(unsignedlong)time(NULL),getpid());
.SH RETURN VALUE
.PP
pointer to a static buffer containing the ID string; overwritten by subsequent calls.
