Detailed Description

Provides RFC 4122 compliant UUID's.

This module provides RFC 4122 compliant UUID generation. The UUID stored in uuid_t struct is stored in network byte order.

uuid_from_string()

int uuid_from_string	(	uuid_t *	uuid,
		const char *	str
	)

Populate an UUID structure from an UUID string.

Parameters

[out]	uuid	out UUID
[in]	str	null-terminated input UUID string, must be UUID_STR_LEN bytes

Returns

0 on success, < 0 if str is not valid

uuid_to_string()

void uuid_to_string	(	const uuid_t *	uuid,
		char *	str
	)

Generate an UUID string from an UUID structure.

Parameters

[in]	uuid	UUID
[out]	str	null-terminated UUID string, must be at least UUID_STR_LEN + 1 bytes

uuid_v3()

void uuid_v3	(	uuid_t *	uuid,
		const uuid_t *	ns,
