uuidgen - a universally unique identifier (UUID) generator for XPLC

       Simon Law

uuidgen  generates  a new universally unique identifier (UUID).  This UUID can be assumed to be unique to
       any other UUIDs generated on the local system, as well as those created on any other systems, at any time
       in the past or future.

       By default, uuidgen will try to generate a UUID with as much randomness as possible.  It  tries  to  pick
       out  a  high-quality  randomness  source.  If it cannot find one, it will fall back on using a time-based
       algorithm.

-c,--cdef
              Print the UUID as an initializer for a C structure, compatible with the type used by XPLC.

              This is the default mode for uuidcdef.

       -r,--random
              Demand that the random-based algorithm be used to generate the UUID.  This  will  prefer  a  high-
              quality randomness source, but may fall back on a low-entropy one.

       -t,--time
              Demand that the time-based algorithm be used to generate the UUID.

       -u,--uuid
              Print  the  UUID  like:  "26175a27-c35d-4615-8dfb-1509eab28ef8".   This  is  the printf(3) format:
              "%08x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%012x".

              This is the default mode for uuidgen.
