This section provides DCL syntax for the UUID generation utility.
Except where noted, DCL commands are equivalent to the universal
command syntax documented in the uuidgen section of the OSF DCE
Application Development Reference. See the Reference documentation
for a complete description of the universal command syntax interface
to the UUID generation utility.
Users may choose to use either the universal interface to the
UUID generation utility or the DCL-style alternative.
