  OSSP uuid - Universally Unique Identifier
  Version 1.6.6 (2025-12-08)

  ABSTRACT

  OSSP uuid is a C API and corresponding CLI program for the generation
  and analysis of DCE 1.1 and, IETF RFC-9562- compliant Universally Unique
  Identifiers (UUIDs). It supports variant 1 UUIDs of versions:
    1 (time and node),
    3 (name (namespace+data), MD5),
    4 (random),
    5 (name (namespace+data), SHA-1),
    6 (time and node with improved locality),
    7 (UNIX time, random data).
  Additional API bindings are provided for C++98 (deprecated) and Perl: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.

  COMPATIBILITY

  Wants libmd-dev, a C11 compiler, and autoconf/automake/libtool.
  $ autoreconf -fi
  $ ./configure [--with-dce] [--with-cxx] [--with-perl] [--with-perl-compat] \
                [--with-libname=libossp-uuid] [usual autoconf variables]...
  #              the default is libuuid
  $ make ...

  MAC address detection has been verified to work under
  Linux, the Hurd, {Free,Net,Open}BSD, the Macintosh, and the illumos gate.
