uuid_unparse(3) - Linux man page
Name
uuid_unparse - convert an UUID from binary representation to a string
Synopsis
#include <uuid/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 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.
