NAME
uuidd - UUID generation daemonSYNOPSIS
uuidd [-d] [-p pidfile] [-s socketpath] [-T timeout]uuidd [-r|-t] [-n number] [-s socketpath]
uuidd -k
DESCRIPTION
The uuidd daemon is used by the UUID library to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), especially time-based UUIDs, in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face of large numbers of threads running on different CPUs trying to grab UUIDs.OPTIONS
- -d
- Run uuidd in debugging mode. This prevents uuidd from running as a daemon.
- -k
- If currently a uuidd daemon is running, kill it.
- -n number
- When issuing a test request to a running uuidd, request a bulk response of number UUIDs.
- -p pidfile
- Specify the pathname where the pid file should be written. By default, the pid file is written to /var/run/uuidd/uuidd.pid.
- -s socketpath
- Specify the pathname used for the unix-domain socket used by uuidd. By default, the pathname used is /var/run/uuidd/request. This is primarily for debugging purposes, since the pathname is hard-coded in the libuuid library.
- -r
- Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a random-based UUID.
- -t
- Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a time-based UUID.
- -T timeout
- Specify a timeout for uuidd. If specified, then uuidd will exit after timeout seconds of inactivity.
