package uuid provides an RFC 4122 UUID generator.

Each supported UUID version provides two functions: GenerateVn, where n is the version number, and GenerateVnString. The GenerateVn function returns the UUID as a Uuid type (currently implemented as a []byte), and the GenerateVnString returns the UUID as a string.

Tests for each exported function are also provided, which include checks to ensure that generated UUIDs are in the proper format.

// GenerateV4String returns a version 4 UUID as a string.
func GenerateV4String() (u string, err error)
// GenerateV4 returns a version 4 UUID as a byte slice.
