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.
CONFORMING TO
This library unparses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1.
