NAME

6       uuid_parse - convert an input UUID string into binary representation
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <uuid.h>
10
11       int uuid_parse(char *in, uuid_t uu);
12       int uuid_parse_range(char *in_start, char *in_end, uuid_t uu);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The uuid_parse() function converts the UUID string given by in into the
16       binary representation. The input UUID is a string of the form
17       1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-b9a761bde3fb (in printf(3) format
18       "%08x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%012x", 36 bytes plus the trailing '\0').
19
20       The uuid_parse_range() function works like uuid_parse() but parses only
21       range in string specified by in_start and in_end pointers.
22

RETURN VALUE

24       Upon successfully parsing the input string, 0 is returned, and the UUID
25       is stored in the location pointed to by uu, otherwise -1 is returned.
26

CONFORMING TO

28       This library parses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1, and hash based
29       UUIDs V3 and V5 compatible with RFC-4122
30       <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122>.
