UUID_PARSE(3) Libuuid API UUID_PARSE(3)
uuid_parse - convert an input UUID string into binary representation
#include <uuid.h>
int uuid_parse( char *in, uuid_t uu);
The uuid_parse function converts the UUID string given by in into the
binary representation. The input UUID is a string of the form
1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-b9a761bde3fb (in printf(3) format
"%08x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%012x", 36 bytes plus the trailing '\0').
Upon successfully parsing the input string, 0 is returned, and the
UUID is stored in the location pointed to by uu, otherwise -1 is
returned.
