Hi fellow devs,

I'm looking for a way to generate unique strings from the command line. Figured I'd use these for internal product IDs since it requires me to do no work other than call this utility. But I don't see any sort of generator like this for the Mac.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Rob

That's what I get for searching for GUID

Thanks!

See also CFUUID in CoreFoundation, if you'd like to use uuidgen's system without calling out to a separate process.
