1uuid - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library
2
3The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be
4accessible beyond the local system.  This library generates UUIDs compatible
5with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing
6Environment (DCE) utility uuidgen.
7
8The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be unique
9within a system, and unique across all systems.  They could be used, for
10instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple web servers without
11communication between the servers, and without fear of a name clash.

13This code is from the E2fsprogs project: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
