1 Introduction

cl-ksuid

cl-ksuid implements KSUIDs in Common Lisp. KSUIDs are short (20 byte or 27 base62 character) unique IDs composed of a 32-bit timestamp followed by 128 bits of randomness. Due to the timestamp, they are sortable by creation second. They are described further in A Brief History of the UUID.

E.g. 0puTTYvbQvWBglQicRUWdOdKnt9 or 0pw8wwIBsPD8yLcQS9rBSlIFet0.

KSUIDs may be created with (make-instance 'ksuid); they can be printed to a character stream so long as *print-readably* is nil; their bytes may be extracted with the BYTES reader. Finally, a string may be parsed as a KSUID with STRING-TO-KSUID.

4.1 cl-ksuid

CL-KSUID provides K-sorted unique identifiers as described in <URL:https://segment.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-the-uuid/> and implemented in <URL:https://github.com/segmentio/ksuid>; any incompatibility should be treated as a bug.

Definitions are sorted by export status, category, package, and then by lexicographic order.

5.1 Exported definitions

5.1.1 Functions

Function: ksuid-equal X Y

KSUID-EQUAL returns NIL unless X & Y are equivalent KSUIDs.

Package

cl-ksuid

Source

cl-ksuid.lisp (file)

Function: ksuid-universal-time KSUID

KSUID-UNIVERSAL-TIME returns the timestamp component of KSUID as a universal time.

Package

cl-ksuid

Source

cl-ksuid.lisp (file)

Function: string-to-ksuid STRING

STRING-TO-KSUID parses STRING into a KSUID. It signals a PARSE-ERROR error condition if STRING is an invalid KSUID.

Package

cl-ksuid

Source

cl-ksuid.lisp (file)

5.1.2 Generic functions

Generic Function: bytes OBJECT

Package

cl-ksuid

Methods

Method: bytes (KSUID ksuid)

Client code should use the BYTES accessor, not access the slot directly.

Source

cl-ksuid.lisp (file)

5.1.3 Classes

Class: ksuid ()

KSUID represents a KSUID. Client code should use BYTES and PRINT-OBJECT to access the KSUID in raw & string form.

Package

Direct methods

• print-object (method)

Direct slots

Slot: bytes

Client code should use the BYTES accessor, not access the slot directly.
