@@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ As a result, Sonyflake has the following advantages and disadvantages:
- The lifetime (174 years) is longer than that of Snowflake (69 years)
- It can work in more distributed machines (2^16) than Snowflake (2^10)
- It can generate 2^8 IDs per 10 msec at most in a single machine/thread (slower than Snowflake)
- It can generate 2^8 IDs per 10 msec at most in a single machine/thread (fewer than Snowflake)
However, if you want more generation rate in a single host,
you can easily run multiple Sonyflake ID generators concurrently using goroutines.

- StartTime is the time since which the Sonyflake time is defined as the elapsed time.
If StartTime is 0, the start time of the Sonyflake is set to "2014-09-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC".
If StartTime is ahead of the current time, Sonyflake is not created.
If StartTime is 0, the start time of the Sonyflake instance is set to "2025-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC".
StartTime must be before the current time.
- MachineID returns the unique ID of the Sonyflake instance.
If MachineID returns an error, Sonyflake is not created.
If MachineID is nil, default MachineID is used.
Default MachineID returns the lower 16 bits of the private IP address.
- MachineID returns the unique ID of a Sonyflake instance.
If MachineID returns an error, the instance will not be created.
If MachineID is nil, the default MachineID is used, which returns the lower 16 bits of the private IP address.
- CheckMachineID validates the uniqueness of the machine ID.
If CheckMachineID returns false, Sonyflake is not created.
- CheckMachineID validates the uniqueness of a machine ID.
If CheckMachineID returns false, the instance will not be created.
If CheckMachineID is nil, no validation is done.
In order to get a new unique ID, you just have to call the method NextID.

The [awsutil](https://github.com/sony/sonyflake/blob/master/v2/awsutil) package provides
the function AmazonEC2MachineID that returns the lower 16-bit private IP address of the Amazon EC2 instance.
It also works correctly on Docker
by retrieving [instance metadata](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html).

the lower 16 bits of the address is also unique.
In this common case, you can use AmazonEC2MachineID as Settings.MachineID.
