UUID module for Erlang
======================

This Erlang module was designed to be a simple library for generating UUIDs. It
conforms to RFC 4122 whenever possible.

EXAMPLES
========

1> U1 = uuid:srandom().
<<122,97,138,207,167,45,65,66,150,221,37,217,237,251,255,116>>

2> U2 = uuid:sha(oid, "this is a test").
<<203,67,89,104,89,217,94,22,172,75,82,90,165,42,233,118>>

3> U3 = uuid:md5(oid, "this is a test").
<<24,14,17,80,45,119,57,252,184,124,101,1,169,248,103,153>>

4> uuid:to_string(U1).
"7a618acf-a72d-4142-96dd-25d9edfbff74"

DOCUMENTATION
