|
Package uniuri generates random strings good for use in URIs to identify
|
||
|
|
unique objects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example usage:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
s := uniuri.New() // s is now "apHCJBl7L1OmC57n"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A standard string created by New() is 16 bytes in length and consists of
|
||
|
|
Latin upper and lowercase letters, and numbers (from the set of 62 allowed
|
||
|
|
characters), which means that it has ~95 bits of entropy. To get more
|
||
|
|
entropy, you can use NewLen(UUIDLen), which returns 20-byte string, giving
|
||
|
|
~119 bits of entropy, or any other desired length.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Functions read from crypto/rand random source, and panic if they fail to
|
||
|
|
read from it.
