The uuid package generates and inspects UUIDs based on

[RFC 4122](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/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).
