Package: uuid-runtime (2.17.2-9)

[ Source: util-linux  ]

runtime components for the Universally Unique ID library

The libuuid library generates and parses 128-bit universally unique ids (UUIDs). A UUID is an identifier that is unique across both space and time, with respect to the space of all UUIDs. A UUID can be used for multiple purposes, from tagging objects with an extremely short lifetime, to reliably identifying very persistent objects across a network.

See RFC 4122 for more information.

This package contains the uuidgen program and the uuidd daemon.

The uuidd daemon is used to generate UUIDs, especially time-based UUID’s, in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face of large numbers of threads trying to grab UUID’s running on different CPU’s. It is used by libuuid as well as the uuidgen program.
