| # uuid | |
| The uuid package generates and inspects UUIDs based on | |
| [RFC 4122](http://tools.ietf.org/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). | |
