uuid(1m)uuid(1m)NAME
uuid - A dcecp object that generates and compares UUIDs
SYNOPSIS
uuid compare uuid uuid
uuid create
uuid help [operation | -verbose]
uuid operations
ARGUMENTS
A UUID in the following form: C069d9fb6-943e-11cd-a35c-0000c08adf56 The
name of the uuid operation for which to display help information.
DESCRIPTION
The uuid object generates and compares Universal Unique Identifiers
(UUIDs). UUIDs uniquely identify DCE entities such as principals, RPC
entries, Cell Directory Service (CDS) replicas, and so on.
OPERATIONS
uuid compare
Compares two UUIDs. The syntax is as follows: uuid compare uuid uuid
The compare operation compares two UUIDs, returning 1 if they are equal
or 0 if they are not. Because the uuid compare command handles the
comparison of UUIDs in current and previous DCE formats, you should use
it rather than string compare.
Privileges Required
No special privileges are needed to use the uuid compare command.
Examples
dcecp> uuid compare 03bb2688-943e-11cd-8bfd-0000c08adf56 \ >

uuid create
Returns a newly generated UUID. The syntax is as follows: uuid create
The create operation returns a newly generated UUID. It takes no argu‐
ments.

uuid help
Returns help information about the uuid object and its operations. The
syntax is as follows: uuid help [operation | -verbose]
Options Displays information about the uuid object.
Used without an argument or option, the uuid help command returns brief
