I have updated the QSW_UUID framework to version 1.1. This framework now
provides a true Objective-C wrapper class for the Core Foundation CFUUID
API. This enables you to instantiate a new UUID typed as QSWUuid, instead of
using a QSWUuidServer singleton class to instantiate a Uuid that is typed as
NSData as in older versions of the framework.
You'll find it at <
http://www.quecheesoftware.com/downloads/UUID.html>.
A UUID is a Universally Unique Identifier, suitable for use whenever you
need to generate IDs that are guaranteed to be unique in the space of all
UUIDs generated using the same algorithm and unique for a very long time to
come (until approximately 3400 A.D.). Core Foundation uses them to identify
plug-ins, and they are used to identify remote procedure calls in the OSF
Distributed Computing Environment. They are also suitable for use in other
situations, for example, as a unique key to identify records across multiple
databases and computers.
See Apple's CFUUID Reference at
<
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFUUIDR
ef/Reference/Introduction.html> for more information. Enter "man uuidgen" in
Terminal.app to see documentation for the uuidgen tool.
This framework conforms to the UUID specification in an appendix to The Open
Group's Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Common Applications Environment (CAE)
Specification Document Number C706 (1997), available at
<
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629399/apdxa.htm>. The Specification
Document is part of the OSF Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) version
1.1.
