+ OSSP uuid - Universally Unique Identifier
+ Version 1.6.2 (04-Jul-2008)
+
+ ABSTRACT
+
+ OSSP uuid is a ISO-C:1999 application programming interface (API)
+ and corresponding command line interface (CLI) for the generation of
+ DCE 1.1, ISO/IEC 11578:1996 and IETF RFC-4122 compliant Universally
+ Unique Identifier (UUID). It supports DCE 1.1 variant UUIDs of version
+ 1 (time and node based), version 3 (name based, MD5), version 4
+ (random number based) and version 5 (name based, SHA-1). Additional
+ API bindings are provided for the languages ISO-C++:1998, Perl:5 and
+ PHP:4/5. Optional backward compatibility exists for the ISO-C DCE-1.1
+ and Perl Data::UUID APIs.
+
+ UUIDs are 128 bit numbers which are intended to have a high likelihood
+ of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult
+ to guess. They are globally unique identifiers which can be locally
+ generated without contacting a global registration authority. UUIDs
+ are intended as unique identifiers for both mass tagging objects
+ with an extremely short lifetime and to reliably identifying very
+ persistent objects across a network.
