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 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.
