.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These routines provide for the creation and manipulation of Universally
|
|
Unique Identifiers
|
|
.Pq UUIDs ,
|
|
also referred to as Globally Unique Identifiers
|
|
.Pq GUIDs .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_compare
|
|
function compares two UUIDs.
|
|
It returns \-1 if
|
|
.Fa uuid1
|
|
precedes
|
|
.Fa uuid2 ,
|
|
0 if they are equal, or 1 if
|
|
.Fa uuid1
|
|
follows
|
|
.Fa uuid2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_create
|
|
function creates a new UUID.
|
|
Storage for the new UUID must be pre-allocated by the caller.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_create_nil
|
|
function creates a nil-valued UUID.
|
|
Storage for the new UUID must be pre-allocated by the caller.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_equal
|
|
function compares two UUIDs to determine if they are equal.
|
|
It returns 1 if they are equal, and 0 if they are not equal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_from_string
|
|
function parses a 36-character string representation of a UUID and
|
|
converts it to binary representation.
|
|
Storage for the UUID must be pre-allocated by the caller.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_hash
|
|
function generates a hash value for the specified UUID.
|
|
Note that the hash value is not a cryptographic hash, and should not be
|
|
assumed to be unique given two different UUIDs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_is_nil
|
|
function returns 1 if the UUID is nil-valued and 0 if it is not.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_to_string
|
|
function converts a UUID from binary representation to string representation.
|
|
Storage for the string is dynamically allocated and returned via the
|
|
.Fa str
|
|
argument.
|
|
This pointer should be passed to
|
|
.Xr free 3
|
|
to release the allocated storage when it is no longer needed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_enc_le
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn uuid_enc_be
|
|
functions encode a binary representation of a UUID into an octet stream
|
|
in little-endian and big-endian byte-order, respectively.
|
|
The destination buffer must be pre-allocated by the caller, and must be
|
|
large enough to hold the 16-octet binary UUID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_dec_le
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn uuid_dec_be
|
|
functions decode a UUID from an octet stream in little-endian and
|
|
big-endian byte-order, respectively.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uuid_compare ,
|
|
.Fn uuid_create ,
|
|
.Fn uuid_create_nil ,
|
|
.Fn uuid_equal ,
|

|
|
.Fn uuid_hash ,
|
|
.Fn uuid_is_nil ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn uuid_to_string
|
|
functions return successful or unsuccessful completion status in the
|
|
.Fa status
|
|
argument.
|
|
Possible values are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv uuid_s_invalid_string_uuid"
|
|
.It Dv uuid_s_ok
|
|
The function completed successfully.
|
|
.It Dv uuid_s_bad_version
|
|
The UUID does not have a known version.
|
|
.It Dv uuid_s_invalid_string_uuid
|
|
The string representation of a UUID is not valid.
|
|
.It Dv uuid_s_no_memory
|
|
Memory could not be allocated for the operation.
