+Description: Universally unique id library
+ The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be
+ accessible beyond the local system. This library generates UUIDs compatible
+ with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing
+ Environment (DCE) utility uuidgen.
+ .
+ The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be unique
+ within a system, and unique across all systems. They could be used, for
+ instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple Web servers without
+ communication between the servers, and without fear of a name clash.
