uuid_unparse — convert an UUID from binary representation to a string
#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); |
The uuid_unparse function
converts the supplied UUID uu from the binary
representation into a 36-byte string (plus tailing '\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.
libuuid is part of the
util-linux package since version 2.15.1 and is available from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
