clock property

int clock

Returns the clock sequence, which varies based on version.

• For UuidVersion.v1; avoids duplicates when the clock/node ID changes.
• For UuidVersion.v3 or UuidVersion.v5; 14-bit value from a name.
• For UuidVersion.v4, a (pseudo)-randomly generated 14-bit value.

The clock sequence must be originally (i.e., once in the lifetime of a system) initialized to a random number to minimize the correlation across systems.

Implementation

int get clock;
