Summary

Function: key llGenerateKey( );

Generates a key using Version 5 (SHA-1 hash) UUID generation to create a unique key.
Returns the key generated.

Caveats

  • The specific UUID version is an implementation detail that has changed in the past and may change again in the future. Do not depend upon the UUID that is returned to be Version 5.
  • As the UUID produced is versioned, it should never return a value of NULL_KEY.
