NAME

uuidd − UUID generation daemon

SYNOPSIS

uuidd [ −d ] [ −p pidfile ] [ −s socketpath ] [ −T timeout ]

uuidd [ −r | −t ] [ −n number ] [ −s socketpath ]

uuidd −k

DESCRIPTION

The uuidd daemon is used by the UUID library to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), especially time-based UUID’s in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face of large numbers of threads trying to grab UUID’s running on different CPU’s.

OPTIONS

−d

Run uuidd in debugging mode. This prevents uuidd from running as a daemon.

−k

If a currently uuidd daemon is running, kill it.

−n number

When issuing a test request to a running uuidd, request a bulk response of number UUID’s.

−p pidfile

Specify the pathname where the pid file should be written. By default, the pid file is written to /var/lib/libuuid/uuidd.pid.

−s socketpath

Specify the pathname used for the unix-domain socket used by uuidd. By default, the pathname used is /var/lib/libuuid/request. This is primarily for debugging purposes, since the pathname is hard-coded in the libuuid library.

−r

Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a random-based UUID.

−t

Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a time-based UUID.

−T timeout

Specify a timeout for uuidd. If specified, then uuidd will exit after timeout seconds of inactivity.

AUTHOR

The uuidd daemon was written by Theodore Ts’o <tytso@mit.edu>.

AVAILABILITY

uuidd is part of libuuid from the e2fsprogs package and is available from http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
