Methods

generate()

Generate a binary string from a local domain, local identifier, node ID, clock sequence, and current time

public generate(int $localDomain[, Integer|null $localIdentifier = null ][, Hexadecimal|null $node = null ][, int|null $clockSeq = null ]) : string
Parameters
$localDomain : int

The local domain to use when generating bytes, according to DCE Security

$localIdentifier : Integer|null = null

The local identifier for the given domain; this may be a UID or GID on POSIX systems, if the local domain is person or group, or it may be a site-defined identifier if the local domain is org

$node : Hexadecimal|null = null

A 48-bit number representing the hardware address

$clockSeq : int|null = null

A 14-bit number used to help avoid duplicates that could arise when the clock is set backwards in time or if the node ID changes

Return values
string
