DESCRIPTION
       This  package  provides	a  generator of universally unique identifiers
       (UUID) also known as globally unique identifiers (GUID). This implemen‐
       tation  follows the draft specification from (1) although this is actu‐
       ally an expired draft document.

COMMANDS
       ::uuid::uuid generate
	      Creates a type 4 uuid by MD5 hashing a number of bits of variant
	      data including the time and hostname.  Returns the string repre‐
	      sentation of the new uuid.

       ::uuid::uuid equal id1 id2
	      Compares two uuids and returns true if both  arguments  are  the
	      same uuid.

EXAMPLES
