-d, --debug
Run uuidd in debugging mode. This prevents uuidd from running
as a daemon.
-F, --no-fork
Do not daemonize using a double-fork.
-k, --kill
If currently a uuidd daemon is running, kill it.
-n, --uuids number
When issuing a test request to a running uuidd, request a
bulk response of number UUIDs.
-P, --no-pid
Do not create a pid file.
-p, --pid path
Specify the pathname where the pid file should be written. By
default, the pid file is written to
{runstatedir}/uuidd/uuidd.pid.
-q, --quiet
Suppress some failure messages.
-r, --random
Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and
request it to return a random-based UUID.
-S, --socket-activation
Do not create a socket but instead expect it to be provided
by the calling process. This implies --no-fork and --no-pid.
This option is intended to be used only with systemd(1). It
needs to be enabled with a configure option.
-s, --socket path
Make uuidd use this pathname for the unix-domain socket. By
default, the pathname used is {runstatedir}/uuidd/request.
This option is primarily for debugging purposes, since the
pathname is hard-coded in the libuuid library.
-T, --timeout number
Make uuidd exit after number seconds of inactivity.
-t, --time
Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and
request it to return a time-based UUID.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help screen and exit.
