+.TH UUID 3 "@E2FSPROGS_MONTH@ @E2FSPROGS_YEAR@" "E2fsprogs version @E2FSPROGS_VERSION@"
+.SH NAME
+uuid \- DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <uuid/uuid.h>
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects
+that may be accessible beyond the local system. 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. Ts'o
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+The UUID library is part of the e2fsprogs package and is available from
+.UR http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/
+http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/
