Nice! I think this will still have a use and is a nice addition to add another alternative way to generate uuids

I use the following alias to generate uuids

   function uuid() { uuidgen | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" | tr -d "\n\r" }

I then pair it with pbcopy on the mac

   uuidgen | pbcopy

one of my most used non-trivial shell commands must be

    uuidgen | awk '{ printf "\"" $1 "\"" }' | xclip -selection clipboard
