libUUID

[Mark Smith]

Universally Unique Identifier, though perhaps better described as  
Universally extremely-likely-to-be-Unique Identifier.

They're just numbers, in the end. Quite big numbers, that are  
formatted a particular way, and their use is to make it possible to  
tell one thing from another (similar thing).

Best,

Mark
