Dirk Eddelbuettel [aut, cre] | Title: | Generating Universally Unique Identificators |
|---|---|
| Description: | Using the efficient implementation in the Boost C++ library, functions are provided to generate vectors of 'Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID)' from R supporting random (version 4), name (version 5) and time (version 7) 'UUIDs'. The initial repository was at <https://gitlab.com/artemklevtsov/rcppuuid>. |

Provides functions to generating a vector of Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID) using the implementation from the Boost C++ library. Supports random (version 4), name (version 5) and time-based (version 7) UUIDs. UUIDs generation is parallelized by OpenMP.

Function generates name-based uuid is derived from content in a namespace. A uuid with identical content shall yield the same uuid. Hashing algorithm is SHA1.

x |
Character vector. |
ns |
Namespace string. Allowed values: dns, url, oid, x500dn. |
Character vector with UUIDs.
This function generates valid uuids for the NA and empty strings.
