| 33 | .SH NAME | |
| 34 | uuid \- DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library | |
| 35 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 36 | .B #include <uuid/uuid.h> | |
| 37 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 38 | The | |
| 39 | UUID | |
| 40 | library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be | |
| 41 | accessible beyond the local system. This library | |
| 42 | generates UUIDs compatible with those created by the Open Software | |
| 43 | Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) utility | |
| 44 | .BR uuidgen . | |
| 45 | .sp | |
| 46 | The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be | |
| 47 | unique within a system, and unique across all systems. They could | |
| 48 | be used, for instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple | |
| 49 | web servers without communication between the servers, and without fear | |
| 50 | of a name clash. | |
