UUID_UNPARSE(3)                   Libuuid API                  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 char-
       acter 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 sys-
       tem-dependent local default.

       If the case of the hex digits is important then the functions  uuid_un-
       parse_upper and uuid_unparse_lower may be used.

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