UUID_UNPARSE(3)			  Libuuid API		       UUID_UNPARSE(3)

NAME
       uuid_unparse - convert an 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 tailing '\0')	 of  the  form
       1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-0016d3cca427 and stores this value in the char‐
       acter 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 sys‐
       tem-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.
