Crate uuid_rs

This crate defines a uniform resource name namespace for UUIDs (Universally Unique IDentifier), also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifier). A UUID is 128 bits long, and can guarantee uniqueness across space and time.

[dependencies]
uuid = { version = "0.4.0", features = ["randy"] }

use uuid_rs::uuid_v4;

fn main() {
    println!("{}", uuid_v4!());
}

Macros

uuid_v1	Creates a lower version-1 UUID String.
uuid_v2	Creates a lower version-2 UUID String.
uuid_v3	Creates a lower version-3 UUID String.
uuid_v4	Creates a lower version-4 UUID String.
uuid_v5	Creates a lower version-5 UUID String.

Structs

ClockSeq	ClockSeq is used to avoid duplicates that could arise when the clock is set backwards in time.
Layout	The UUID format is 16 octets.
Node	the clock sequence is used to help avoid duplicates that could arise when the clock is set backwards in time or if the node ID changes.
Timestamp	Timestamp represented by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as a count of 100-ns intervals from the system-time.
UUID	Is a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems.

Enums

Domain	Domain is security-domain-relative name.
Variant	Variant is a type field determines the layout of the UUID.
Version	Version represents the type of UUID, and is in the most significant 4 bits of the Timestamp.

Constants

UTC_EPOCH

Is 100-ns ticks between UNIX and UTC epochs.
