UUID_UNPARSE(3)               Programmers Manual               UUID_UNPARSE(3)

NAME
       uuid_unparse - convert a UUID from binary representation to a string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <uuid.h>

       void uuid_unparse(uuid_t uu, char *out);
       void uuid_unparse_upper(uuid_t uu, char *out);
       void uuid_unparse_lower(uuid_t uu, char *out);

DESCRIPTION
       The uuid_unparse() function converts the supplied UUID uu from the
       binary representation into a 36-byte string (plus trailing '\0') of the
       form 1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-0016d3cca427 and stores this value in the
       character string pointed to by out. The case of the hex digits returned
       by uuid_unparse() may be upper or lower case, and is dependent on the
       system-dependent local default.

       If the case of the hex digits is important then the functions
       uuid_unparse_upper() and uuid_unparse_lower() may be used.

CONFORMING TO
       This library unparses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1.
