## UUID ![](https://github.com/awh6al/uuid-rs/workflows/uuid-rs/badge.svg)
A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number used to identify
information in computer systems. The term globally unique identifier (GUID)
is also used.
This crate generates and inspects UUIDs based on
* [RFC 4122](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122)
* [DCE 1.1](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9696989899/chap5.htm#tagcjh_08_02_01_01)
## Install
```TOML
[dependencies]
uuid-rs = { version = "0.6.2", features = ["random"] }
```
## Usage
```Rust
use uuid_rs::v4;
println!("{}", v4!())
```
## Security
Do not assume that UUIDs are hard to guess; they should not be used as security capabilities.
