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
17       binary representation into a 36-byte string (plus trailing '\0') of the
18       form 1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-0016d3cca427 and stores this value in the
19       character string pointed to by out. The case of the hex digits returned
20       by uuid_unparse() may be upper or lower case, and is dependent on the
21       system-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.
