};

Public functions

This function creates a new universally unique identifier (UUID) and unparse it to a char pointer.

Parameters

char * uid

A char pointer to store the new UUID. It needs to be of size GUID_SIZE (37 bytes)

Code Example

char * id = (char *)malloc(GUID_SIZE);
IGuuid::GenerateUUID(id);
                

This function creates a binary universally unique identifier (UUID).

Parameters

OS_GUID * uid

An object of type struct OS_GUID

Code Example

OS_GUID id;
IGuuid::GenerateBinaryUUID(&id);
                

Data types

OS_GUID

typedef struct {
    byte b[16];
