# go-iid # go-xim
Package **iid** provides quazi‐ monotonically‐increasing unique‐identifiers. Package **xim** provides quazi‐ monotonically‐increasing unique‐identifiers.
The serialized form of the **IID** is safe to use as a _file_ or _directory_ name. The serialized form of the **IID** is safe to use as a _file_ or _directory_ name.

## Example ## Example
Here is an example of using `package iid`: Here is an example of using `package xim`:
```go ```go
var id iid.IID = iid.Generate() var id xim.IID = xim.Generate()
``` ```

The `iid.IID.UnixTime()` method will give you that 39-bit _unix timestamp_. The `xim.IID.UnixTime()` method will give you that 39-bit _unix timestamp_.
And the `iid.IID.Chaos()` method will give you that 24-bit _chaos_. And the `xim.IID.Chaos()` method will give you that 24-bit _chaos_.
(The _chaos_ is just a randomness that helps make these IIDs unique, when multiple IIDs are being produced simultaneously.) (The _chaos_ is just a randomness that helps make these IIDs unique, when multiple IIDs are being produced simultaneously.)
