DESCRIPTION

The system_id utility is used to specify the identity of a sensing device, as it appears on either the South Coast Science / AWS or OpenSensors.io Community Edition messaging infrastructures.

The identity is also used to tag all environmental sensing records. It is therefore important that a device retains a fixed identity throughout its lifetime.

When the "verbose" "-v" flag is used, the system_id utility reports all of the identity formats derived from its specification.

SYNOPSIS
