+.Sh NAME
+.Nm uuidgen
+.Nd generate universally unique identifiers
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/uuid.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn uuidgen "uuid_t *store" "int count"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+system call generates
+.Fa count
+universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) and writes them to the buffer
+pointed to by
+.Fa store .
+The identifiers are generated according to the syntax and semantics of the
+DCE version 1 variant of universally unique identifiers. When no IEEE 802
+address is available for the node field a random multicast address is
+generated for each call.
+.Pp
+When multiple identifiers are requested, the
+.Nm
+system call will generate identifiers that are adjacent in time.
+.Pp
+Universally unique identifiers, also known as globally unique identifiers,
+are normally represented as:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+63d81915-7140-11d6-903d-00022d09712b
+.Ed
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Nm
+system call can fail with:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+The buffer pointed to by
+.Fa store
+could not be written to for any or all identifiers.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fa count
+parameter is less than 1 or larger than the hard upper limit of 2048.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+system call first appeared in
+.Fx 5.0 .
