uuidgen: Create a random UUIDv4.
$ uuidgen --random
try on your machine
The command "uuidgen --random" generates a random UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) using the uuidgen utility.
UUIDs are 128-bit numbers typically represented by 32 hexadecimal digits, grouped in a specific format (such as 8-4-4-16). They are used to uniquely identify objects or entities in computer systems, ensuring that no two objects have the same identifier.
The "--random" flag instructs the uuidgen utility to generate a UUID using a random number generator rather than other possible methods. This ensures that the generated UUID is unique and not predictable.
