	dev=open("/dev/idmodule", 0);
	ioctl(dev, HILSC, buf);
	
	This will bring the id into buf (9 chars long). You might
	want to decode it since it is packed, but that really isn't
	needed - it's unique anyway.

	(Note: You ought to check return values etc, and your id
	module might not be /dev/idmodule)
