- Usage:
-
- $uuid = fqdn_uuid($::fqdn)
-
- The generated UUID will be the same for the given hostname
-
- The resulting UUID is returned on the form:
-
- 1d839dea-5e10-5243-88eb-e66815bd7d5c
-
- (u.e. without any curly braces.)
-
- The generated UUID is a version 5 UUID with the V5 DNS namespace:
-
- 6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8
-
- This only supports a the V5 SHA-1 hash, using the DNS namespace.
-
- Please consult http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt for the details on
- UUID generation and example implementation.
-
- No verification is present at the moment as whether the domain name given
- is in fact a correct fully-qualified domain name. Therefore any arbitrary
- string and/or alpha-numeric value can subside for a domain name.
