libuuuid - Unified UUID Library
===============================

libuuuid aims at providing small, portable and multi-platform UUID
library. It does not implement standard by itself, but instead utilizes
most common implementation on running platform and exposes consistent
API. Motivations for writing such library were both incompatibilities
between native APIs and problems with ossp-uuid[1] implementation to
coexist with current libraries.
