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-b9a761bde3fb 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.
