NAME¶
uuid_unparse - convert a UUID from binary representation to a string
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <uuid.h>
void uuid_unparse(uuid_t uu, char *out);
void uuid_unparse_upper(uuid_t uu, char *out);
void uuid_unparse_lower(uuid_t uu, char *out);
DESCRIPTION¶
The uuid_unparse function converts the supplied UUID uu from the
binary representation into a 36-byte string (plus trailing '\0') of the form
1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-0016d3cca427 and stores this value in the character
string pointed to by out. The case of the hex digits returned by
uuid_unparse may be upper or lower case, and is dependent on the
system-dependent local default.
If the case of the hex digits is important then the functions
uuid_unparse_upper and uuid_unparse_lower may be used.
This library unparses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1.
