README
uuid
The uuid package generates and inspects UUIDs based on
RFC 9562
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).
Install
go get github.com/google/uuid
