[[Introduction]]
[[UUID Class]]
The uuid module provides the ability to generate and parse [[UUIDs|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_Unique_Identifier]] (Universally Unique Identifiers).
This module is released under the [[LGPL 2.1|http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html]] and is tagged as such in the module's header (meaning it can be loaded unconditionally regardless of how the Qore library was initialized).
Note that this documentation is based on [[TiddlyWiki|http://www.tiddlywiki.com]], a wiki entirely contained in a single web page.
Like all Qore components, the uuid module is thread-safe.
This module provides the [[UUID Class]], [[UUID Generation Constants]], [[UUID String Formatting Constants]], and one additional constant: {{{HAVE_UNPARSE_CASE}}}, which tells if the underlying uuid library support controlling the case of UUID strings (the use of constants {{{LowerCase}}} and {{{UpperCase}}} with [[UUID::toString()]]).
Note that the [[UUID Class]] and all constants are provided in the {{{UUID}}} namespace.
To simply get a UUID string without creating a UUID object, call static method [[UUID::get()]] as follows:
{{{
my string $uuid = UUID::get();
}}}

Qore uuid Module Documentation
The UUID class provides methods that allow ~UUIDs to be created, manipulated, and parsed.
|!Method|!Description|h
|[[UUID::constructor(int $flags = UUID::None)|UUID::constructor()]]<br>[[UUID::constructor(string $uuid_str)|UUID::constructor()]]|generates a UUID or parses a string to construct a UUID|
|[[UUID::copy()]]|creates an exact copy of the UUID object|
|[[UUID::clear() returns nothing|UUID::clear()]]|clears the UUID and sets the null value|
|[[UUID::compare(UUID $other) returns int|UUID::compare()]]|compares the current UUID with another UUID and returns -1, 0, or 1 if the other UUID is greater than, equal to, or less than the current UUID respectively|
|[[UUID::generate(int $flags = UUID::None) returns nothing|UUID::generate()]]|generates a new UUID for the object|
|[[UUID::isNull() returns bool|UUID::isNull()]]|returns True if the current UUID is the null UUID, or False if not|
|[[UUID::toString(int $flags = UUID::None) returns string|UUID::toString()]]|returns the string representation of the UUID|
|[[static UUID::get(int $gen_flags = UUID::None, int $str_flags = UUID::None) returns string|UUID::get()]]|returns a UUID string without having to create a UUID object|
UUID generation constants affect how the UUID is generated. All UUID generation constants are integers.
|!Constant|!Description|h
|{{{None}}}|No value; this is the default|
|{{{Random}}}|Force the use of the all-random UUID format, even if a high-quality random number generator is not available for the library|
|{{{Time}}}|Force the use of the alternative algorithm that uses the current time and local ethernet MAC address (if available); note that this algorithm can leak information about when and where the UUID was generated|
|{{{Empty}}}|The UUID will be assigned the null value on creation|
UUID string generation constants affect how strings are created from UUID objects. All UUID string generation constants are integers.
Note that the constants {{{LowerCase}}} and {{{UpperCase}}} only have an effect if the underlying uuid library supports this functionality; check the constant {{{UUID::HAVE_UNPARSE_CASE}}} first before relying on this functionality.
|!Constant|!Description|h
|{{{None}}}|No value; this is the default|
|{{{UpperCase}}}|All hexadecimal characters will be in upper case|
|{{{LowerCase}}}|All hexadecimal characters will be in lower case|
!Synopsis
:Clears the UUID and sets the null value ("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000").
!Prototype
:* {{{UUID::clear() returns nothing)}}}
!Example:
{{{
$uuid.clear();
}}}
!Synopsis
:Compares the current UUID with another UUID and returns -1, 0, or 1 if the other UUID is greater than, equal to, or less than the current UUID respectively
!Prototype
:* {{{UUID::compare(UUID $other) returns int}}}
!Arguments
:* {{{UUID $other}}}: the other UUID to compare
!Return Value
:{{{int}}}: -1, 0, or 1 if the other UUID is greater than, equal to, or less than the current UUID respectively
!Example:
{{{
my int $rc = $uuid.compare($other_uuid);
}}}
!Synopsis
:Generates a UUID or parses a string to construct a UUID.
!Prototype
:* {{{UUID::constructor(int $flags = UUID::None)}}}
:* {{{UUID::constructor(string $uuid_str)}}}
!Arguments
:* {{{int $flags}}}: [[UUID Generation Constants]] to affect how the UUID is generated
:* {{{string $uuid_str}}}: a UUID string in a format as in the following example {{{"93c40733-9b99-46c6-91a5-f3989067dc1e"}}}
!Examples:
to generate a UUID using the default algorithm:
{{{
my UUID $uuid();
}}}
to make a UUID object from an explicit value:
{{{
my UUID $uuid("93c40733-9b99-46c6-91a5-f3989067dc1e");
}}}
to create a UUID with the null value:
{{{
my UUID $uuid(UUID::Empty)
}}}
!Exceptions
:{{{UUID-CONSTRUCTOR-ERROR}}}: invalid UUID string (invalid format, invalid characters, etc)
!Synopsis
:Creates an exact copy of the UUID object
!Example
:{{{my UUID $new_uuid = $uuid.copy();}}}
!Synopsis
:Generates a new UUID value for the object; the current value of the UUID object is overwritten with the newly-generated value.
!Prototype
:* {{{UUID::generate(int $flags = UUID::None) returns nothing}}}
!Arguments
:* {{{int $flags}}}: [[UUID Generation Constants]] to affect how the UUID is generated
!Examples:
to generate a UUID using the default algorithm:
{{{
$uuid.generate();
}}}
to create a UUID with the null value:
{{{
$uuid.generate(UUID::Empty);
}}}
!Synopsis
:Returns a UUID string without having to create a UUID object. Note that the constants {{{LowerCase}}} and {{{UpperCase}}} only have an effect if the underlying uuid library supports this functionality; check the constant {{{UUID::HAVE_UNPARSE_CASE}}} first before relying on this functionality.
!Prototype
:* {{{static UUID::get(int $str_flags = UUID::None, int $gen_flags = UUID::None) returns string}}}
!Arguments
:* {{{int $str_flags}}}: [[UUID String Formatting Constants]] to affect how the UUID string return value is formatted
:* {{{int $gen_flags}}}: [[UUID Generation Constants]] to affect how the UUID is generated
!Return Value
:{{{string}}}: the string representation of the UUID, ex {{{"f5c5fd74-5b3e-4f02-8772-f8a80da9b028"}}}
!Example:
{{{
my string $str = UUID::get();
}}}
!Synopsis
:Returns True if the current UUID is the null UUID, or False if not.
!Prototype
:* {{{UUID::isNull() returns bool}}}
!Return Value
:{{{bool}}}: True if the UUID is the null UUID, or False if not
!Example:
{{{
my bool $b = $uuid.isNull();
}}}
