-- Note that this is not a true version 4 (random) UUID.  Since `os.time()` precision is only 1 second, it would be hard
-- to guarantee spacial uniqueness when two hosts generate a uuid after being seeded during the same second.  This
-- is solved by using the node field from a version 1 UUID.  It represents the mac address.
-- 
-- 28-apr-2013 modified by Thijs Schreijer from the original [Rackspace code](https://github.com/kans/zirgo/blob/807250b1af6725bad4776c931c89a784c1e34db2/util/uuid.lua) as a generic Lua module.
-- Regarding the above mention on `os.time()`; the modifications use the `socket.gettime()` function from LuaSocket
-- if available and hence reduce that problem (provided LuaSocket has been loaded before uuid).

-- Creates a new uuid. Either provide a unique hex string, or make sure the
-- random seed is properly set. The module table itself is a shortcut to this
-- function, so `my_uuid = uuid.new()` equals `my_uuid = uuid()`.
--
-- For proper use there are 3 options;
--
-- 1. first require `luasocket`, then call `uuid.seed()`, and request a uuid using no 
-- parameter, eg. `my_uuid = uuid()`
-- 2. use `uuid` without `luasocket`, set a random seed using `uuid.randomseed(some_good_seed)`, 
-- and request a uuid using no parameter, eg. `my_uuid = uuid()`
-- 3. use `uuid` without `luasocket`, and request a uuid using an unique hex string, 
-- eg. `my_uuid = uuid(my_networkcard_macaddress)`
--
-- @return a properly formatted uuid string
-- @param hwaddr (optional) string containing a unique hex value (e.g.: `00:0c:29:69:41:c6`), to be used to compensate for the lesser `math.random()` function. Use a mac address for solid results. If omitted, a fully randomized uuid will be generated, but then you must ensure that the random seed is set properly!

-- Improved randomseed function.
-- Lua 5.1 and 5.2 both truncate the seed given if it exceeds the integer
-- range. If this happens, the seed will be 0 or 1 and all randomness will
-- be gone (each application run will generate the same sequence of random
-- numbers in that case). This improved version drops the most significant
-- bits in those cases to get the seed within the proper range again.
-- @param seed the random seed to set (integer from 0 - 2^32, negative values will be made positive)
-- @return the (potentially modified) seed used
-- @usage
-- local socket = require("socket")  -- gettime() has higher precision than os.time()
-- local uuid = require("uuid")
-- -- see also example at uuid.seed()
-- uuid.randomseed(socket.gettime()*10000)
-- print("here's a new uuid: ",uuid())
