UUIDD(8)						       System Administration							  UUIDD(8)

NAME
uuidd - UUID generation daemon SYNOPSIS
uuidd [options] DESCRIPTION
The uuidd daemon is used by the UUID library to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), especially time-based UUIDs, in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face of large numbers of threads running on different CPUs trying to grab UUIDs. OPTIONS
-d, --debug Run uuidd in debugging mode. This prevents uuidd from running as a daemon. -h, --help Display help screen and exit. -k, --kill If currently a uuidd daemon is running, kill it. -n, --uuids number When issuing a test request to a running uuidd, request a bulk response of number UUIDs. -p, --pid path Specify the pathname where the pid file should be written. By default, the pid file is written to /var/uuidd/uuidd.pid. -P, --no-pid Do not create pid file. -F, --no-fork Do not daemonize using double-fork. -S, --socket-activation Do not create the socket and instead expect it to be provided by the calling process. Implies --no-fork and --no-pid. As of this writing, this option is supposed to be used only with systemd. This option must be enabled with a configure option. -q, --quiet Suppress some failure messages. -r, --random Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a random-based UUID. -s, --socket path Specify the pathname used for the unix-domain socket used by uuidd. By default, the pathname used is /var/uuidd/request. This is primarily for debugging purposes, since the pathname is hard-coded in the libuuid library. -T, --timeout timeout Specify a timeout for uuidd. If specified, then uuidd will exit after timeout seconds of inactivity. -t, --time Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a time-based UUID. -V, --version Output version information and exit. EXAMPLE
Start up a daemon, print 42 random keys, and then stop the daemon. uuidd -p /tmp/uuidd.pid -s /tmp/uuidd.socket uuidd -d -r -n 42 -s /tmp/uuidd.socket uuidd -d -k -s /tmp/uuidd.socket AUTHOR
The uuidd daemon was written by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>. AVAILABILITY
The uuidd daemon is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. SEE ALSO
