UUID version identifiers

#define UUID_V1   (0x01)
 Type 1 UUID - timestamp based

 
#define UUID_V2   (0x02)
 Type 2 UUID - DCE Security version.
 
#define UUID_V3   (0x03)
 Type 3 UUID - Name based with MD5

 
#define UUID_V4   (0x04)
 Type 4 UUID - Random generated

 
#define UUID_V5   (0x05)
 Type 5 UUID - Name based with SHA1.
 

Version part of the time_hi field
