uuid_gen(1ncs)															    uuid_gen(1ncs)

Name
       uuid_gen - UUID generating program

Syntax
       /etc/ncs/uuid_gen [ -c ] [ -C ] [ -version ]

Description
       The  program  generates	Universal  Unique Identifiers (UUIDs).	Without options, it generates a character-string representation of a UUID.
       The -c option enables you to generate a template for Network Interface Definition Language (NIDL) files.  The -C option enables you to gen-
       erate source-code representations of UUIDs, suitable for initializing variables of type

Options
       -c	 Generate a template, including a UUID attribute, for an interface definition in the C syntax of NIDL.

       -C	 Generate a C source-code representation of a UUID.

       -version  Display  the  version of the Network Computing Kernel (NCK) that this belongs to but do not generate a UUID.  (NCK is part of the
		 Network Computing System (NCS) on which DECrpc is based.)

Examples
       Generate a character-string representation of a UUID:
       $ /etc/ncs/uuid_gen
       34dc23469000.0d.00.00.7c.5f.00.00.00
       Generate a template for an interface definition in the C syntax of NIDL:
       $ /etc/ncs/uuid_gen -c
       %c
       [
       uuid(34dc239ec000.0d.00.00.7c.5f.00.00.00),
       version(1)
       ]
       interface INTERFACENAME {

       }
       Generate a template for an interface definition in the C syntax of NIDL.  Redirect the output to the file
       $ /etc/ncs/uuid_gen -c >myfile.idl
       Generate a C source-code representation of a UUID:
       $ /etc/ncs/uuid_gen -C
       = { 0x34dc23af,
       0xf000,
       0x0000,
       0x0d,
       {0x00, 0x00, 0x7c, 0x5f, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00} };
