Detailed Description

A 16-byte universally unique identifier.

Member Function Documentation

◆ copy()

static uuid copy ( const char *  bytes)
static

Return a uuid copied from bytes.

Bytes must point to at least 16 bytes. If bytes == 0 the UUID is zero-initialized.

◆ random()

static uuid random ( )
static

Return a simple randomly-generated UUID.

This is used by the Proton library to generate default UUIDs.

For specific security, performance, or uniqueness requirements, you may want to use a better UUID generator or some other form of identifier entirely.
