1 # uuid ![build status](https://travis-ci.org/google/uuid.svg?branch=master) 2 The uuid package generates and inspects UUIDs based on 3 [RFC 4122](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122) 4 and DCE 1.1: Authentication and Security Services. 5 6 This package is based on the github.com/pborman/uuid package (previously named 7 code.google.com/p/go-uuid). It differs from these earlier packages in that 8 a UUID is a 16 byte array rather than a byte slice. One loss due to this 9 change is the ability to represent an invalid UUID (vs a NIL UUID). 10 11 ###### Install 12 `go get github.com/google/uuid` 13 14 ###### Documentation 15 [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/google/uuid?status.svg)](http://godoc.org/github.com/google/uuid) 16 17 Full `go doc` style documentation for the package can be viewed online without 18 installing this package by using the GoDoc site here: 19 http://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/uuid
