genid: Generate a Discord Snowflake, without a trailing newline (useful in shell scripts).
$ genid --script snowflake
try on your machine
The command "genid --script snowflake" is used to generate unique IDs, also known as Snowflake IDs, using a particular script or algorithm called Snowflake.
In Snowflake, a unique ID is composed of a timestamp, a unique node ID, and a sequence number. It guarantees uniqueness even in distributed systems where multiple nodes may be generating IDs concurrently. The genid command with the --script snowflake option instructs the system to use the Snowflake algorithm to generate these IDs.
