A UUID is an identifier that is unique across both space and time, with respect to the space of all UUIDs. To be precise, the UUID consists of a finite bit space. Thus, collision cannot be avoided in principle. 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.
The generation of UUIDs does not require that a registration authority be contacted for each identifier. Instead, Version 4 UUIDs are generated from (pseudo unique) sequences of (pseudo) random bits. */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif /** Generates a new Version 4 (random number based) UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier). @param pTargetUUID pointer to at least 16 bytes of memory. After the call it contains the newly generated uuid in network byte order. @param pPredecessorUUID ignored (was used when this function returned Version 1 instead of Version 4 UUIDs). @param bUseEthernetAddress ignored (was used when this function returned Version 1 instead of Version 4 UUIDs). */ SAL_DLLPUBLIC void SAL_CALL rtl_createUuid( sal_uInt8 *pTargetUUID, const sal_uInt8 *pPredecessorUUID, sal_Bool bUseEthernetAddress ); /** Compare two UUID's lexically

The version 3 UUID is meant for generating UUIDs from names that are drawn from, and unique within, some name space. Some examples of names (and, implicitly, name spaces) might be DNS names, URLs, ISO Object IDs (OIDs), reserved words in a programming language, or X.500 Distinguished Names (DNs); thus, the concept of name and name space should be broadly construed, and not limited to textual names.
The requirements for such UUIDs are as follows:
