+
+In a nutshell, a ULID code (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) is
+a combination of a 48-bit time stamp (most significant part, with a millisecond accuracy),
+and a 80-bit random number (least significant part), totalling 128 bits, that is 16 bytes (octets).
+
+The ULID code generation is sort of UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) system, also know as GUID (Globally Unique Identifier).
+The characteristic of ULID numbers is that they can be compared and sorted by their timestamps.
+
+The package ULID provides a `Generate` function using the method described above, plus a `Generate_Monotonic` function that enables the production of a monotonically increasing sequence of ULID numbers within the same millisecond.
+
+The preferred (canonical) representation of a ULID is a certain version of the Base32 encoding (example of output: 01J80P3NJDN0Y5YX7D05421X0G).
+The ULID package also provides a function `Encode_as_8_4_4_4_12` that outputs a text representation in the usual UUID 8-4-4-4-12 format (like: 01920161-d64d-5a3e-589e-c45df155547b).
+Both formats are also recognized by the `Decode` function.
