"The B<uuid_generate>() function creates a new universally unique identifier "
"(UUID). The uuid will be generated based on high-quality randomness from "
"B<getrandom>(2), I</dev/urandom>, or I</dev/random> if available. If it is "
"not available, then B<uuid_generate>() will use an alternative algorithm "
"which uses the current time, the local ethernet MAC address (if available), "
"and random data generated using a pseudo-random generator."

"The B<uuid_generate_random>() function forces the use of the all-random UUID "
"format, even if a high-quality random number generator is not available, in "
"which case a pseudo-random generator will be substituted. Note that the use "
"of a pseudo-random generator may compromise the uniqueness of UUIDs "

"The B<uuid_generate_time>() function forces the use of the alternative "
"algorithm which uses the current time and the local ethernet MAC address (if "

"information about when and where the UUID was generated. This can cause "
"privacy problems in some applications, so the B<uuid_generate>() function "
"only uses this algorithm if a high-quality source of randomness is not "
"available. To guarantee uniqueness of UUIDs generated by concurrently "
"running processes, the uuid library uses a global clock state counter (if "
"the process has permissions to gain exclusive access to this file) and/or "
"the B<uuidd>(8) daemon, if it is running already or can be spawned by the "
"process (if installed and the process has enough permissions to run it). If "
"neither of these two synchronization mechanisms can be used, it is "
"theoretically possible that two concurrently running processes obtain the "
