UUID(3) Library Functions Manual UUID(3) NAME uuid_compare, uuid_create, uuid_create_nil, uuid_equal, uuid_from_string, uuid_hash, uuid_is_nil, uuid_to_string -- DCE 1.1 compliant UUID functions LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <uuid.h> int32_t uuid_compare(uuid_t *uuid1, uuid_t *uuid2, uint32_t *status); void uuid_create(uuid_t *uuid, uint32_t *status); void uuid_create_nil(uuid_t *uuid, uint32_t *status); int32_t uuid_equal(uuid_t *uuid1, uuid_t *uuid2, uint32_t *status); void uuid_from_string(const char *str, uuid_t *uuid, uint32_t *status); uint16_t uuid_hash(uuid_t *uuid, uint32_t *status); int32_t uuid_is_nil(uuid_t *uuid, uint32_t *status); void uuid_to_string(uuid_t *uuid, char **str, uint32_t *status); DESCRIPTION The family of DCE 1.1 compliant UUID functions allow applications to operate on universally unique identifiers, or UUIDs. The uuid_create() and uuid_create_nil() functions create UUIDs. The uuid_compare(), uuid_equal() and uuid_is_nil() functions can be used to test UUIDs. To convert from the binary representation to the string representation or vice versa, use uuid_to_string() or uuid_from_string() respectively. A 16-bit hash value can be obtained by calling uuid_hash(). RETURN VALUES The successful or unsuccessful completion of the function is returned in the status argument. Possible values are: uuid_s_ok The function completed successfully. uuid_s_bad_version The UUID does not have a known version. uuid_s_invalid_string_uuid The string representation of an UUID is not valid. uuid_s_no_memory The meaning of the code escaped the writers mind. SEE ALSO uuidgen(1), uuidgen(2) STANDARDS The UUID functions conform to the DCE 1.1 RPC specification. BUGS This manpage can be improved. GNU October 29, 2002 UUID(3)
