HostId

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 ------------

`shell

`Unix shell`


$ hostid=

hostid


$ echo "Host Id: $hostid"

`js

`Node program`


import HostId from "hostid"
let hostid = HostId()
console.log(

Host Id: ${hostid}
