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. NAME IDENTIFIER/TRANSLATE - Translates a DCE RPC Version UUID to a DCE RPC UUID. SYNOPSIS IDENTIFIER/TRANSLATE old-style-uuid [qualifier]... QUALIFIERS /OUTPUT=file /OUTPUT=SYS$OUTPUT (default) This qualifier, used with a file name, directs output to a file. If you do not specify a file name, the converted UUID goes to SYS$OUTPUT, generally your display terminal. NAME IDENTIFIER/GENERATE - Generates one or more DCE RPC UUIDs. SYNOPSIS IDENTIFIER/GENERATE [qualifier] QUALIFIERS /FORMAT [=option] Specify one or more of the following options. STRING (default) STRING Format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx This is a raw UUID in its readable form. IDL IDL Format: [uuid(xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx- xxxxxxxxxxxx)] This is a UUID as it appears syntactically in an RPC interface definition. STRUCT STRUCT Format: This is an initialized C structure declaration, which can be included in C code that is used with DCE RPC. /COUNT=n This qualifier specifies the number of UUID strings to be generated. If you do not specify a number for n, the number 1 is used by default. /OUTPUT=file /OUTPUT=SYS$OUTPUT (default) This qualifier, used with a file name, directs output to a file. If you do not specify a file name, the converted UUID goes to SYS$OUTPUT, generally your display terminal.
