 | 
						|
* Version 2, based on timestamp, MAC address and POSIX UID/GID (DCE 1.1)
 | 
						|
* Version 3, based on MD5 hashing (RFC 4122)
 | 
						|
* Version 4, based on random numbers (RFC 4122)
 | 
						|
* Version 5, based on SHA-1 hashing (RFC 4122)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Use the `go` command:
 | 
						|

						|
## Example

```go
 | 
						|
package main
 | 
						|

						|
import (
 | 
						|
	"fmt"
 | 
						|
	"github.com/satori/go.uuid"
 | 
						|
)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
func main() {
 | 
						|
	// Creating UUID Version 4
 | 
						|
	u1 := uuid.NewV4()
 | 
						|
	fmt.Printf("UUIDv4: %s\n", u1)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	// Parsing UUID from string input
 | 
						|
	u2, err := uuid.FromString("6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")
 | 
						|
	if err != nil {
 | 
						|
		fmt.Printf("Something gone wrong: %s", err)
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
	fmt.Printf("Successfully parsed: %s", u2)
