The method returns a string in one of # three formats. The default format is 36 characters long, and contains the 32 # hexadecimal octets and hyphens separating the various value parts. The # :compact format omits the hyphens, while the :urn format # adds the :urn:uuid prefix. # # For example: # # uuid = UUID.new # # 10.times do # p uuid.generate # end # # = UUIDs in Brief # # UUID (universally unique identifier) are guaranteed to be unique across time # and space. # # A UUID is 128 bit long, and consists of a 60-bit time value, a 16-bit # sequence number and a 48-bit node identifier. # # The time value is taken from the system clock, and is monotonically # incrementing. However, since it is possible to set the system clock # backward, a sequence number is added. The sequence number is incremented # each time the UUID generator is started. The combination guarantees that # identifiers created on the same machine are unique with a high degree of # probability. # # Note that due to the structure of the UUID and the use of sequence number, # there is no guarantee that UUID values themselves are monotonically # incrementing. The UUID value cannot itself be used to sort based on order # of creation. # # To guarantee that UUIDs are unique across all machines in the network, # the IEEE 802 MAC address of the machine's network interface card is used as # the node identifier. # # For more information see {RFC 4122}[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt]. class UUID VERSION = '2.0.1' ## # Clock multiplier.
