----------------------------------------- Library: Globally Unique Identifier Author: Andy Tompkins Location: Boost Sandbox Vault Review Manager: Needed Date: Needed Summary: A guid, or globally unique identifier, is an identifier standard used in many disciplines including computer networks, distributed computing, and databases. They can be used to tag objects with very short lifetimes, to reliably identify very persistent objects across a network. An attractive feature of guids is their relative small size, of 128-bits, compared to alternatives. Also the creation of guids does not require a centralized authority.
You may count me in on this library. Regards Hartmut
