11 void uuid_unparse(uuid_t uu, char *out);
12 void uuid_unparse_upper(uuid_t uu, char *out);
13 void uuid_unparse_lower(uuid_t uu, char *out);
14
16 The uuid_unparse function converts the supplied UUID uu from the binary
17 representation into a 36-byte string (plus trailing '\0') of the form
18 1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-0016d3cca427 and stores this value in the char‐
19 acter string pointed to by out. The case of the hex digits returned by
20 uuid_unparse may be upper or lower case, and is dependent on the sys‐
21 tem-dependent local default.
22
23 If the case of the hex digits is important then the functions
24 uuid_unparse_upper and uuid_unparse_lower may be used.
25
27 This library unparses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1.
