There exist different variants of these global identifiers. The methods * of this class are for manipulating the Leach-Salz variant, although the * constructors allow the creation of any variant of UUID (described below). * *
The layout of a variant 2 (Leach-Salz) UUID is as follows: * * The most significant long consists of the following unsigned fields: *
* 0xFFFFFFFF00000000 time_low * 0x00000000FFFF0000 time_mid * 0x000000000000F000 version * 0x0000000000000FFF time_hi ** The least significant long consists of the following unsigned fields: *
* 0xC000000000000000 variant * 0x3FFF000000000000 clock_seq * 0x0000FFFFFFFFFFFF node ** *
The variant field contains a value which identifies the layout of the * {@code UUID}. The bit layout described above is valid only for a {@code * UUID} with a variant value of 2, which indicates the Leach-Salz variant. * *
The version field holds a value that describes the type of this {@code * UUID}. There are four different basic types of UUIDs: time-based, DCE * security, name-based, and randomly generated UUIDs. These types have a * version value of 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. * *
For more information including algorithms used to create {@code UUID}s,
* see RFC 4122: A
* Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) URN Namespace, section 4.2
* "Algorithms for Creating a Time-Based UUID".
