Overview

UUIDTools was designed to be a simple library for generating any of the various types of UUIDs. It conforms to RFC 4122 whenever possible.

Examples:

UUID.md5_create(UUID_DNS_NAMESPACE, "www.widgets.com")
# => #<UUID:0x287576 UUID:3d813cbb-47fb-32ba-91df-831e1593ac29>
UUID.sha1_create(UUID_DNS_NAMESPACE, "www.widgets.com")
# => #<UUID:0x2a0116 UUID:21f7f8de-8051-5b89-8680-0195ef798b6a>
UUID.timestamp_create
# => #<UUID:0x2adfdc UUID:64a5189c-25b3-11da-a97b-00c04fd430c8>
UUID.random_create
# => #<UUID:0x19013a UUID:984265dc-4200-4f02-ae70-fe4f48964159>

#random_node_id?Boolean

This method applies only to version 1 UUIDs. Checks if the node ID was generated from a random number or from an IEEE 802 address (MAC address). Always returns false for UUIDs that aren’t version 1. This should not be confused with version 4 UUIDs where more than just the node id is random.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
