macOS UUID Command in Terminal?

[cdoolittle17]

Hey everyone! I'm working on a new piece of software for OS X that will create a Fusion Drive on ANY Mac running 10.8.2 or newer, and it has to have 2 hard drives as well. Anyway, I have everything I need to create the drive except 1 thing. For this command, I need to have the UUID of the newly created Fusion Drive. What I want a command to do is to look at the UUID of ANY computers Fusion Drive and auto input it to the command. Not sure how to do this. Anyone know how? Thanks a ton. If you need my previous commands that I have, just let me know.

Parse the output of your commands or look at diskutil coreStorage info.

This will save the output of the diskutil cs list command to a text file on your Desktop. If you have a Fusion drive this output would include the UUID of the Fusion logical volume. There may be a way you could automatically extract it form the text file or the command output itself?

diskutil cs list > ~/Desktop/test.txt

Yes, pipe the output into for example awk.
