=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<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 I<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.
This is the command line interface (CLI) of B<OSSP uuid>. For a
detailed description of UUIDs see the documentation of the application
programming interface (API) in uuid(3).
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 3
=item B<-v> I<version>
Sets the version of the generated DCE 1.1 variant UUID. Supported
are I<version> "C<1>", "C<3>", "C<4>" and "C<5>". The default is "C<1>".
For version 3 and version 5 UUIDs the additional command line arguments
I<namespace> and I<name> have to be given. The I<namespace> is either
a UUID in string representation or an identifier for internally
pre-defined namespace UUIDs (currently known are "C<ns:DNS>",
"C<ns:URL>", "C<ns:OID>", and "C<ns:X500>"). The I<name> is a string of
arbitrary length.
=item B<-m>
Forces the use of a random multi-cast MAC address when generating
version 1 UUIDs. By default the real physical MAC address of the system
is used.
=item B<-n> I<count>
Generate I<count> UUIDs instead of just a single one (the default).
=item B<-1>
If option B<-n> is used with a I<count> greater than C<1>, then this
option can enforce the reset the UUID context for each generated UUID.
This makes no difference for I<version> C<3>, C<4> and C<5> UUIDs. But
version C<1> UUIDs are based on the previously generated UUID which is
remembered in the UUID context of the API. Option B<-1> deletes the
remembered UUID on each iteration.
=item B<-F> I<format>
Representation format for importing or exporting an UUID. The
following (case insensitive) format identifiers are currently recognized:
=over 4
=item C<BIN> (binary representation)
This is the raw 128 bit network byte order binary representation of a
UUID. Example is the octet stream C<0xF8 0x1D 0x4F 0xAE 0x7D 0xEC 0x11
0xD0 0xA7 0x65 0x00 0xA0 0xC9 0x1E 0x6B 0xF6>.
=item C<STR> (string representation)
This is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII string representation of a
UUID. Example is the string "C<f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6>".
=item C<SIV> (single integer value representation)
This is the maximum 39 character long single integer
value representation of a UUID. Example is the string
"C<329800735698586629295641978511506172918>".
=back
=item B<-o> I<filename>
Write output to I<filename> instead of to F<stdout>.
=item B<-d>
Decode a given UUID (given as a command line argument or if the command
line argument is "C<->" the UUID is read from F<stdin>) and dump textual
information about the UUID.
