DESCRIPTION

12       uuid++ is the ISO-C++ language binding of the OSSP uuid C API.  It pro‐
13       vides a thin ISO-C++ class uuid wrapping the ISO-C API type uuid_t.
14

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

16       The ISO-C++ Application Programming Interface (API) of OSSP uuid con‐
17       sists of the following components:
18
19       CONSTANTS
20
21       The constants are the same to those provided by the ISO-C API.  See
22       uuid(3) for details.

25
26       The following classes are provided:
27
28       uuid
29           This is the class corresponding to the C API type uuid_t.  It is
30           the main object.

EXAMPLE

160       The following shows an example usage of the C++ API. Exception handling
161       is omitted for code simplification and has to be re-added for produc‐
162       tion code.
163
164        /* generate a DCE 1.1 v1 UUID from system environment */
165        char *uuid_v1(void)
166        {
167            uuid id;
168            char *str;
169
170            id.make(UUID_MAKE_V1);
171            str = id.string();
172            return str;
173        }
174
175        /* generate a DCE 1.1 v3 UUID from an URL */
176        char *uuid_v3(const char *url)
177        {
178            uuid id;
179            uuid id_ns;
180            char *str;
181
182            id_ns.load("ns:URL");
183            id.make(UUID_MAKE_V3, &id_ns, url);
184            str = id.string();
185            return str;
186        }
