OSSP uuid 1.6.2 (04-Jul-2008)SYNOPSIS
uuid [-v version] [-m] [-n count] [-1] [-F format] [-o filename] [namespace name]uuid -d [-r] [-o filename] uuid
DESCRIPTION
OSSP uuid is a ISO-C:1999 application programming interface (API) and corresponding command line interface (CLI) for the generation of DCE 1.1, ISO/IEC 11578:1996 and IETF RFC-4122 compliant Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). It supports DCE 1.1 variant UUIDs of version 1 (time and node based), version 3 (name based, MD5), version 4 (random number based) and version 5 (name based, SHA-1). Additional API bindings are provided for the languages ISO-C++:1998, Perl:5 and PHP:4/5. Optional backward compatibility exists for the ISO-C DCE-1.1 and Perl Data::UUID APIs.UUIDs are 128 bit numbers which are intended to have a high likelihood of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult to guess. They are globally unique identifiers which can be locally generated without contacting a global registration authority. UUIDs are intended as unique identifiers for both mass tagging objects with an extremely short lifetime and to reliably identifying very persistent objects across a network.
This is the command line interface (CLI) of OSSP uuid. For a detailed description of UUIDs see the documentation of the application programming interface (API) in uuid(3).
OPTIONS
- -v version
- Sets the version of the generated DCE 1.1 variant UUID. Supported are version "1``, ''3``, ''4`` and ''5``. The default is ''1".
For version 3 and version 5 UUIDs the additional command line arguments namespace and name have to be given. The namespace is either a UUID in string representation or an identifier for internally pre-defined namespace UUIDs (currently known are " ns:DNS
``, '' ns:URL
``, '' ns:OID
``, and '' ns:X500
"). The name is a string of arbitrary length. - -m
- Forces the use of a random multi-cast MAC address when generating version 1 UUIDs. By default the real physical MAC address of the system is used.
- -n count
- Generate count UUIDs instead of just a single one (the default).
- -1
- If option -n is used with a count greater than 1, then this option can enforce the reset the UUID context for each generated UUID. This makes no difference for version 3, 4 and 5 UUIDs. But version 1 UUIDs are based on the previously generated UUID which is remembered in the UUID context of the API. Option -1 deletes the remembered UUID on each iteration.
- -F format
- Representation format for importing or exporting an UUID. The following (case insensitive) format identifiers are currently recognized:
-
- BIN
(binary representation) - This is the raw 128 bit network byte order binary representation of a UUID. Example is the octet stream 0xF8 0x1D 0x4F 0xAE 0x7D 0xEC 0x11 0xD0 0xA7 0x65 0x00 0xA0 0xC9 0x1E 0x6B 0xF6
. - STR
(string representation) - This is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII string representation of a UUID. Example is the string " f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6
". - SIV
(single integer value representation) - This is the maximum 39 character long single integer value representation of a UUID. Example is the string "329800735698586629295641978511506172918".
- BIN
-
- -o filename
- Write output to filename instead of to stdout.
- -d
- Decode a given UUID (given as a command line argument or if the command line argument is " -
" the UUID is read from stdin) and dump textual information about the UUID.
