Class uuid

Synopsis

#include "breeze/uuid/uuid.hpp"

class uuid
    :   private equality_comparison< uuid >

Description

A universally unique identifier.

Inheritance

Ancestors: equality_comparison< uuid >

Classes

less

Implements a strict weak ordering relation between uuid objects. Useful for ordered associative containers.

Methods

	uuid overload	Constructs a nil uuid, i.e
	uuid overload	Constructs a uuid having the given variant and version.
	is_equal	Returns: Whether *this is equal to other
	nil	A named alternative to the default constructor.
	variant	Returns: The variant of the uuid.
	version	Returns: The version of the uuid.
