-.Dt UUIDGEN 1
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm uuidgen
-.Nd generate universally unique identifiers
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl 1
-.Op Fl n Ar count
-.Op Fl o Ar filename
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility by default generates a single DCE version 1
-universally unique identifier (UUID),
-also known as a globally unique identifier (GUID).
-The UUID is written to stdout by default.
-The following options can be used to change the behaviour of
-.Nm :
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl 1
-This option only has effect if multiple identifiers are to be generated and
-instructs
-.Nm
-to not generate them in batch, but one at a time.
-.It Fl n
-This option controls the number of identifiers generated.
-By default, multiple
-identifiers are generated in batch.
-.It Fl o
-Redirect output to
-.Ar filename
-instead of stdout.
-.El
-.Pp
-Batched generation yields a dense set of identifiers in such a way that there
-is no identifier that is larger than the smallest identifier in the set and
-smaller than the largest identifier in the set and that is not already in the
-set.
-.Pp
-When generating the identifiers one at a time, the identifiers will be close
-to each other, but operating system latency and processing time will be
-reflected in the distance between two successive identifiers.
-.Sh EXIT STATUS
-.Ex -std
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr uuidgen 2 ,
-.Xr uuid 3
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-command first appeared in
-.Fx 5.0 .
