zzinterix (probably C:\SFU\usr\sbin\zzInterix on your Windows box) is part of Interix/SFU, Microsofts UNIX "emulation" layer - the MS equivalent of the MKS Toolkit or Cygwin. It's not really anything to do with Unix/Linux at all but part of the Windows subsystem that allows it to emulate parts of *nix based OS's (which is all again something that sits on top of Windows "basic" POSIX subsystem support).
I used to use Interix on my Windows XP box, but have removed it in favour of Cygwin.

UUID(3) Libuuid API UUID(3)
NAME
uuid - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library
SYNOPSIS
#include <uuid/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.
