The \fBuuidd\fP daemon is used by the UUID library to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), especially time\-based UUIDs, in a secure and guaranteed\-unique fashion, even in the face of large numbers of threads running on different CPUs trying to grab UUIDs.

+Activate continuous clock handling for time based UUIDs. \fBuuidd\fP could use all possible clock values, beginning with the daemon\(cqs start time. The optional argument can be used to set a value for the max_clock_offset. This gurantees, that a clock value of a UUID will always be within the range of the max_clock_offset.

+The option \*(Aq\-C\*(Aq or \*(Aq\-\-cont\-clock\*(Aq enables the feature with a default max_clock_offset of 2 hours.
+.sp
+The option \*(Aq\-C<NUM>[hd]\*(Aq or \*(Aq\-\-cont\-clock=<NUM>[hd]\*(Aq enables the feature with a max_clock_offset of NUM seconds. In case of an appended h or d, the NUM value is read in hours or days. The minimum value is 60 seconds, the maximum value is 365 days.
