OSSP uuid is a ISO-C and Perl application programming interface (API)
and corresponding command line interface (CLI) for the generation of
- DCE 1.1 and ISO/IEC 11578:1996 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).

UUIDs are 128 bit numbers which are intended to have a high likelihood
of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult
