Determine Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) of Host


Abstract
--------
This is a small Node module for determining the Universally Unique
Identifier (UUID) of a host, based on a simple fingerprint derived from
the number of CPUs, the CPU architecture, the operating system name, and
the host name. As long as those fingerprint sources do not change, the
resulting host UUID will not change, too.
Getting HostId
--------------
```
$ npm install [-g] hostid
Using HostId
------------
`shellhostidUnix shell
$ hostid=`
$ echo "Host Id: $hostid"
`jsHost Id: ${hostid}Node program
import HostId from "hostid"
let hostid = HostId()
console.log()``
