Title:
uuidgen --random requires an argument
Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The man page of 'uuidgen' reports the options -r and --random as
equivalent:
-r, --random
Generate a random-based UUID. This method creates a UUID
consisting mostly of random
bits. It requires that the operating system have a high
quality random number genera‐
tor, such as /dev/random.
But --random requires an argument:
kurt@rodin:~$ uuidgen -r
4aca676a-a3f1-4217-a35d-031c376c6274
kurt@rodin:~$ uuidgen --random
uuidgen: option '--random' requires an argument
