This library +generates UUIDs compatible with those created by the Open Software +Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) utility +.BR uuidgen . +.sp +The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be +unique within a system, and unique across all systems. They could +be used, for instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple +web servers without communication between the servers, and without fear +of a name clash. +.SH "CONFORMING TO" +OSF DCE 1.1 +.SH AUTHOR +Theodore Y.
