String UUID

A string UUID contains the character representation of a UUID. A string UUID consists of multiple fields of hexadecimal characters. Each field has a fixed length, and dashes separate the fields. An example of a string UUID follows:

989c6e5c-2cc1-11ca-a044-08002b1bb4f5

When you supply a string UUID as an input argument to an RPC runtime routine, you can enter the alphabetic hexadecimal characters in either uppercase or lowercase letters. The RPC runtime routines that return a string UUID always return the hexadecimal characters in lowercase letters.

The following routines require a string UUID:

· rpc_string_binding_compose( )

· uuid_from_string( )

The following routines return a string UUID:

· rpc_string_binding_parse( )

· uuid_to_string( )
