Generating unique random long alphanumeric IDs using golang

[Sankar]

Hi

Are there any libraries by Google (or others), tested in production that generates, unique, random, long (fixed length preferably), alphanumeric strings ?

I could write a UUID generator library myself, but would like to rely on a stable, actively-maintained FOSS project with a corporate backing instead of reinventing the wheel.

Any pointers ?

Thanks

Sankar

Perhaps?

libuuid is part of the util-linux package since version 2.15.1 and is available from 

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/

Thanks.

But I was looking for a pure go solution.

I've been using this, and it's the simplest I've seen. Barely any code.

Thanks everyone. I will go with the docker
https://github.com/docker/distribution/tree/master/uuid package.

I define 6 different types of "Really Unique Identifiers" in my RUID package, depending on the specifics of what you need.
