UUID(3) Libuuid API UUID(3)
NAME
uuid - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library
SYNOPSIS
#include <uuid.h>
DESCRIPTION
The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be accessible beyond the local system. This library generates
UUIDs compatible with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) utility uuidgen.
The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be unique within a system, and unique across all systems. They could be
used, for instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple web servers without communication between the servers, and without fear
of a name clash.

AVAILABILITY
libuuid is part of the util-linux package since version 2.15.1 and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
