Description-en: UUID generator for Ruby
UUID generator for producing universally unique identifiers based on RFC 4122.
These identifiers are useful in distributed applications like diaspora.
.
A UUID is 128 bit long, and consists of a 60-bit time value, a 16-bit
sequence number and a 48-bit node identifier.
.
To guarantee that UUIDs are unique across all machines in the network,
the IEEE 802 MAC address of the machine's network interface card is used as
the node identifier.
.
