/** Generate a UUID according to version 5 of RFC 4122. * * These UUIDs are generated in a consistent, repeatable fashion. If you * generate a version 5 UUID once, it will be the same as the next time you * generate it. * * To create a version 5 UUID, you need a namespace UUID, generated in some * reasonable fashion. This is hashed with a name that you provide to generate * the UUID. So while you can easily map names to UUIDs, the reverse mapping * will require a lookup of some sort. * * This module publicly imports Uuid, so you don't have to import both if you * are generating version 5 UUIDs. Also, this module is just provided for * convenience -- you can use the method Uuid.byName if you already have an * appropriate digest. * * Version 5 UUIDs use SHA-1 as the hash function. You may prefer to use * version 3 UUIDs instead, which use MD5, if you require compatibility with * another application. * * To use this module: * --- * import tango.util.uuid.NamespaceGenV5; * auto dnsNamespace = Uuid.parse("6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8"); * auto uuid = newUuid(namespace, "rainbow.flotilla.example.org"); * --- */ module tango.util.uuid.NamespaceGenV5; public import tango.util.uuid.Uuid; import tango.util.digest.Sha1; /** Generates a UUID as described above. */ Uuid newUuid(Uuid namespace, char[] name) { return Uuid.byName(namespace, name, new Sha1, cast(ubyte)5); }
