1 # uuid 2 The uuid package generates and inspects UUIDs based on 3 [RFC 4122](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/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 ```sh 13 go get github.com/google/uuid 14 ``` 15 16 ###### Documentation 17 [![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/google/uuid.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/uuid) 18 19 Full `go doc` style documentation for the package can be viewed online without 20 installing this package by using the GoDoc site here: 21 http://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/uuid
