A basic example:

#include <boost/uuid/uuid.hpp>            // uuid class

#include <boost/uuid/uuid_generators.hpp> // generators

#include <boost/uuid/uuid_io.hpp>         // streaming operators etc.



int main() {

    boost::uuids::uuid uuid = boost::uuids::random_generator()();

    std::cout << uuid << std::endl;

}

Example output:
