Crate simple_uuid[−][src]
Expand description
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] simple-uuid = { version = "*", features = ["rand_num"] }
use simple_uuid::v4; println!("{}", v4!());

Structs
Used to avoid duplicates that could arise when the clock is set backwards in time.
The UUID format is 16 octets.
Node field consists of an IEEE 802 MAC address, usually the host address
Represented by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as a count of 100-ns intervals from the system-time.
Is a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems.
Enums
Variant is a type field determines the layout of the UUID.
Version represents the type of UUID, and is in the most significant 4 bits of the Timestamp.
Constants
Is 100-ns ticks between UNIX and UTC epochs.
