This library generates UUIDs compatible +with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing +Environment (DCE) utility uuidgen. + +The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be unique +within a system, and unique across all systems. They could be used, for +instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple web servers without +communication between the servers, and without fear of a name clash. + +This code is from the E2fsprogs project: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. +The package was e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.5.tar.gz. |
