3* Name : create_guid *
4* Author : Chris Koeritz *
5* *
6* Purpose: *
7* *
8* This program generates a globally unique identifier using the operating *
9* system's support. The resulting id can be used to tag items that must be *
10* uniquely named. *

The application_shell is a base object for console programs.
virtual int execute()=0
< retrieves the command line from the /proc hierarchy on linux.
application_shell()
constructs an application_shell to serve as the root of the program.
Provides a dynamically resizable ASCII character string.
Definition astring.h:35
#define SETUP_CONSOLE_LOGGER
< a macro that retasks the program-wide logger as a console_logger.
#define add_random
#define BASE_LOG(to_print)
#define DEFINE_CLASS_NAME(objname)
Defines the name of a class by providing a couple standard methods.
Definition enhance_cpp.h:42
