## Description
|
|
|
|
This module provides a framework for generating v3 UUIDs (Universally Unique
|
|
Identifiers, also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers). A UUID is 128
|
|
bits long, and is guaranteed to be different from all other UUIDs/GUIDs
|
|
generated until 3400 CE.
|
|
|
|
UUIDs were originally used in the Network Computing System (NCS) and later in
|
|
the Open Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment.
|
|
Currently many different technologies rely on UUIDs to provide unique identity
|
|
for various software components. Microsoft COM/DCOM for instance, uses GUIDs
|
|
very extensively to uniquely identify classes, applications and components
|
|
across network-connected systems.
|
|
|
|
The algorithm for UUID generation, used by this extension, is described in the
|
|
Internet Draft "UUIDs and GUIDs" by Paul J. Leach and Rich Salz (see RFC 4122).
|
|
It provides a reasonably efficient and reliable framework for generating UUIDs
|
|
and supports fairly high allocation rates - 10 million per second per machine -
|
|
and therefore is suitable for identifying both extremely short-lived and very
|
|
persistent objects on a given system as well as across the network.
|
|
|
|
This module provides several methods to create a UUID. In all methods,
|
|
<namespace> is a UUID and <name> is a free form string.
