Read the reference Benny gave. Essentially, you can use the same algorithms to generate the value. Those of uuidgen are two particular cases of what the RFC allows, but you are not even required to use the RFC as long as the values are globally unique with high probability. What is clear is that it is formatted without hyphens, it is an hex sequence, either 32 or 36 hexdigits long. >From the spec, comparison should be case insensitive and only take into account the first 32 hexdigits. In any case, remember _UID is multivalued, may appear several times in a record. This is a feature.
