NAME

6       uuid_unparse - convert a UUID from binary representation to a string
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <uuid.h>
10
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

DESCRIPTION

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.
