uuid - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library
|
|
|
|
The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be
|
|
accessible beyond the local system. This library generates UUIDs compatible
|
|
with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing
|
|
Environment (DCE) utility uuidgen.
|
|
|
|
The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be unique
|
|
within a system, and unique across all systems. They could be used, for
|
|
instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple web servers without
|
|
communication between the servers, and without fear of a name clash.
|
|
|
|
This code is from the E2fsprogs project: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
|
|
The package was e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.5.tar.gz.
