.SH "NAME"
uuid_parse \- convert an input UUID string into binary representation
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB#include <uuid.h>\fP
.sp
\fBint uuid_parse(char *\fIin\fP, uuid_t \fIuu\fP);\fP
.br
\fBint uuid_parse_range(char *\fIin_start\fP, char *\fIin_end\fP, uuid_t \fIuu\fP);\fP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fBuuid_parse\fP() function converts the UUID string given by \fIin\fP into the binary representation. The input UUID is a string of the form 1b4e28ba\-2fa1\-11d2\-883f\-b9a761bde3fb (in \fBprintf\fP(3) format "%08x\-%04x\-%04x\-%04x\-%012x", 36 bytes plus the trailing \*(Aq\(rs0\*(Aq).
.sp
The \fBuuid_parse_range\fP() function works like \fBuuid_parse\fP() but parses only range in string specified by \fIin_start\fP and \fIin_end\fP pointers.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
Upon successfully parsing the input string, 0 is returned, and the UUID is stored in the location pointed to by \fIuu\fP, otherwise \-1 is returned.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
