A number (1โ€“8) indicating how the UUID was generated. For example, version 4 means random generation, while version 1 means timestamp- and MAC-address-based generation.

What is a variant?

A classification of the UUIDโ€™s internal layout. Nearly all UUIDs in wide use today are the standard variant defined by RFC 4122.

Can this check for duplicates?
