uuid_parse — convert an input UUID string into binary representation
#include <uuid.h>
int
uuid_parse( |
char *in, |
uuid_t uu); |
int
uuid_parse_range( |
char *in_start, |
| char *in_end, | |
uuid_t uu); |
The uuid_parse function
converts the UUID string given by in into the binary
representation. The input UUID is a string of the form
1b4e28ba−2fa1−11d2−883f−b9a761bde3fb
(in printf(3) format
"%08x−%04x−%04x−%04x−%012x", 36 bytes
plus the trailing '\0').
The uuid_parse_range
function works like uuid_parse
but parses only range in string specified by in_start and in_end pointers.
Upon successfully parsing the input string, 0 is returned,
and the UUID is stored in the location pointed to by
uu, otherwise
−1 is returned.
This library parses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1, and hash based UUIDs V3 and V5 compatible with RFC-4122.
uuid(3), uuid_clear(3), uuid_compare(3), uuid_copy(3), uuid_generate(3), uuid_is_null(3), uuid_time(3), uuid_unparse(3)
libuuid is part of the
util-linux package since version 2.15.1 and is available from
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
