+<p>A UID is a globally unique identifier consisting of a 32-bit number. Symbian
+platform makes extensive use of UIDs to provide lightweight identification
+of file types.</p>
+<p>To guarantee uniqueness, all UIDs are assigned to developers centrally
+by Symbian. For testing and development, a well known range of public UIDs
+can be used, but these must not be used for general release. To generate UIDs
+for use in programs, developers must contact Symbian. </p>
+<p>The <codeph>TUid</codeph>, <codeph>TUidType</codeph> and <codeph>TCheckedUid</codeph> classes
+provide the mechanism for creating and manipulating (e.g. comparing) UIDs
+within programs.</p>
