| 33 | .SH NAME |
| 34 | uuid_unparse \- convert an UUID from binary representation to a string |
| 35 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 36 | .nf |
| 37 | .B #include <uuid.h> |
| 38 | .sp |
| 39 | .BI "void uuid_unparse(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out ); |
| 40 | .BI "void uuid_unparse_upper(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out ); |
| 41 | .BI "void uuid_unparse_lower(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out ); |
| 42 | .fi |
| 43 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 44 | The |
| 45 | .B uuid_unparse |
| 46 | function converts the supplied UUID |
| 47 | .I uu |
| 48 | from the binary representation into a 36-byte string (plus tailing '\e0') |
| 49 | of the form 1b4e28ba\-2fa1\-11d2\-883f\-0016d3cca427 and stores this |
| 50 | value in the character string pointed to by |
| 51 | .IR out . |
| 52 | The case of the hex digits returned by |
| 53 | .B uuid_unparse |
| 54 | may be upper or lower case, and is |
| 55 | dependent on the system-dependent local default. |
| 56 | .PP |
| 57 | If the case of the |
| 58 | hex digits is important then the functions |
| 59 | .B uuid_unparse_upper |
| 60 | and |
| 61 | .B uuid_unparse_lower |
| 62 | may be used. |
