UUID_UNPARSE(3)                                                UUID_UNPARSE(3)



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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <uuid/uuid.h>

       void
       uuid_unparse(uuid_t uu, char * out);

       void
       uuid_unparse_lower(uuid_t uu, char * out);

       void
       uuid_unparse_upper(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 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
       uuid_unparse  may  be upper or lower case, and is dependent on the sys-tem-dependent system-dependent
       tem-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.
