Enum `std.uuid.UUID.Version`

RFC 4122 defines different UUID versions. The version shows how a UUID was generated, e.g. a version 4 UUID was generated from a random number, a version 3 UUID from an MD5 hash of a name.


						
				enum Version
				 : int { ... }

Enum members

Name	Description
`dceSecurity`	Version 2
`nameBasedMD5`	Version 3 (Name based + MD5)
`nameBasedSHA1`	Version 5 (Name based + SHA-1)
`randomNumberBased`	Version 4 (Random)
`timeBased`	Version 1
`unknown`	Unknown version

Note

All of these UUID versions can be read and processed by std.uuid, but only version 3, 4 and 5 UUIDs can be generated.
