uuid_unparse - convert a UUID from binary representation to a string

#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/);*

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.

This library unparses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1.
