Name
       uuid_gen - UUID generating program

Syntax
       /etc/ncs/uuid_gen [ -c ] [ -C ] [ -version ]

Description
       The  program  generates	Universal Unique Identifiers (UUIDs).  Without
       options, it generates a character-string representation of a UUID.  The
       -c option enables you to generate a template for Network Interface Def‐
       inition Language (NIDL) files.  The -C option enables you  to  generate
       source-code  representations  of UUIDs, suitable for initializing vari‐
       ables of type

Options
       -c	 Generate a template,  including  a  UUID  attribute,  for  an
		 interface definition in the C syntax of NIDL.

       -C	 Generate a C source-code representation of a UUID.

       -version	 Display  the  version	of  the Network Computing Kernel (NCK)
		 that this belongs to but do not generate  a  UUID.   (NCK  is
		 part of the Network Computing System (NCS) on which DECrpc is
		 based.)

Examples
       Generate a character-string representation of a UUID:
       $ /etc/ncs/uuid_gen
       34dc23469000.0d.00.00.7c.5f.00.00.00
       Generate a template for an interface definition	in  the	 C  syntax  of
       NIDL:
       $ /etc/ncs/uuid_gen -c
       %c
       [
       uuid(34dc239ec000.0d.00.00.7c.5f.00.00.00),
       version(1)
       ]
       interface INTERFACENAME {

       }
       Generate	 a  template  for  an  interface definition in the C syntax of
       NIDL.  Redirect the output to the file
       $ /etc/ncs/uuid_gen -c >myfile.idl
       Generate a C source-code representation of a UUID:
       $ /etc/ncs/uuid_gen -C
       = { 0x34dc23af,
       0xf000,
       0x0000,
       0x0d,
       {0x00, 0x00, 0x7c, 0x5f, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00} };
