# uuid 
|
|
The uuid package generates and inspects UUIDs based on
|
|
[RFC 4122](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122)
|
|
and DCE 1.1: Authentication and Security Services.
|
|
|
|
This package is based on the github.com/pborman/uuid package (previously named
|
|
code.google.com/p/go-uuid). It differs from these earlier packages in that
|
|
a UUID is a 16 byte array rather than a byte slice. One loss due to this
|
|
change is the ability to represent an invalid UUID (vs a NIL UUID).
