UUIDs

    Generates a version 1 (time-based) universally unique identifier (UUID), as specified by RFC 4122. Note that the Node ID is randomly generated (does not identify the host) according to section 4.5 of the RFC.

    Examples

    1. julia> rng = MersenneTwister(1234);
    3. julia> uuid1(rng)
    4. UUID("cfc395e8-590f-11e8-1f13-43a2532b2fa8")

    — Function

    Examples

    1. julia> rng = MersenneTwister(1234);
    2. julia> uuid4(rng)
    3. UUID("196f2941-2d58-45ba-9f13-43a2532b2fa8")

    UUIDs.uuid5 — Function

    Generates a version 5 (namespace and domain-based) universally unique identifier (UUID), as specified by RFC 4122.

    This function requires at least Julia 1.1.

    Examples

    1. julia> rng = MersenneTwister(1234);
    3. julia> u4 = uuid4(rng)
    5. julia> u5 = uuid5(u4, "julia")
    6. UUID("b37756f8-b0c0-54cd-a466-19b3d25683bc")

    — Function

    Examples

    1. julia> uuid_version(uuid4())
    2. 4
