UIDUNPARSE(3)                                                UIDUNPARSE(3)



NAME
       uuidunparse - convert an UID from binary representation to a string

SYNOPSIS
       ##include <>

       void uuidunparse(uuidt uu,, char **out);;
       void uuidunparseupper(uuidt uu,, char **out);;
       void uuidunparselower(uuidt uu,, char **out);;

DESCRIPTION
       The uuidunparse function converts the supplied UID uu from the binary
       representation into a 36-byte string (plus tailing '\0')  of  the  form
       1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-b9a76  and  stores  this value in the character
       string pointed to by out.  The case  of  the  hex  digits  returned  by
       uuidunparse  may  be upper or lower case, and is dependent on the sys-
       tem-dependent local default.

       If the  case  of  the  hex  digits  is  important  then  the  functions
       uuidunparseupper and uuidunparselower may be used.
