UUID

A simple UUID library and data type for Carp, conforming to RFC 4122, generatable in version 1 and 4 for now.

Usage

You’ll be able to pull in the library using:

(load "git@github.com:carpentry-org/uuid@0.0.5")

You’ll then have access to the functions:

• UUID.str, which transforms it into a human-readable format, as defined in RFC 4122,
• UUID.valid?, which checks whether a string is a valid UUID,
• UUID.parse, which parses a string into a UUID data type (returning a Maybe), and
• UUID4.generate, which generates a random UUID, conforming to UUID version 4.
• UUID1.generate, which generates a random UUID, conforming to UUID version 1. Currently the interface part of the UUID is always random (conforming to section 4.5 of the RFC).
