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")

    UUIDs.uuid4 — Function.

    Generates a version 4 (random or pseudo-random) universally unique identifier (UUID), as specified by RFC 4122.

    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.

    Julia 1.1

    This function requires at least Julia 1.1.

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

    UUIDs.uuid_version — Function.

    Inspects the given UUID and returns its version (see ).

    Examples

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