  32 .TH UUID_UNPARSE 3 "May 2009" "util-linux" "Libuuid API"
  33 .SH NAME
  34 uuid_unparse \- convert a UUID from binary representation to a string
  35 .SH SYNOPSIS
  36 .nf
  37 .B #include <uuid.h>
  38 .sp
  39 .BI "void uuid_unparse(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out );
  40 .BI "void uuid_unparse_upper(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out );
  41 .BI "void uuid_unparse_lower(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out );
  42 .fi
  43 .SH DESCRIPTION
  44 The
  45 .B uuid_unparse
  46 function converts the supplied UUID
  47 .I uu
  48 from the binary representation into a 36-byte string (plus trailing '\e0')
  49 of the form 1b4e28ba\-2fa1\-11d2\-883f\-0016d3cca427 and stores this
  50 value in the character string pointed to by
  51 .IR out .
  52 The case of the hex digits returned by
  53 .B uuid_unparse
  54 may be upper or lower case, and is
  55 dependent on the system-dependent local default.
  56 .PP
  57 If the case of the
  58 hex digits is important then the functions
  59 .B uuid_unparse_upper
  60 and
  61 .B uuid_unparse_lower
  62 may be used.
  63 .SH CONFORMING TO
  64 This library unparses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1.
