ZUUID(3)

NAME
zuuid - UUID support class

SYNOPSIS

//  This is a stable class, and may not change except for emergencies. It
//  is provided in stable builds.
//  Create a new UUID object.
CZMQ_EXPORT zuuid_t *
    zuuid_new (void);
//  Create UUID object from supplied ZUUID_LEN-octet value.
CZMQ_EXPORT zuuid_t *
    zuuid_new_from (const byte *source);
//  Destroy a specified UUID object.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    zuuid_destroy (zuuid_t **self_p);
//  Set UUID to new supplied ZUUID_LEN-octet value.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    zuuid_set (zuuid_t *self, const byte *source);
//  Set UUID to new supplied string value skipping '-' and '{' '}'
//  optional delimiters. Return 0 if OK, else returns -1.
CZMQ_EXPORT int
    zuuid_set_str (zuuid_t *self, const char *source);
//  Return UUID binary data.
CZMQ_EXPORT const byte *
    zuuid_data (zuuid_t *self);
//  Return UUID binary size
CZMQ_EXPORT size_t
    zuuid_size (zuuid_t *self);
//  Returns UUID as string
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
    zuuid_str (zuuid_t *self);
//  Return UUID in the canonical string format: 8-4-4-4-12, in lower
//  case. Caller does not modify or free returned value. See
//  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
    zuuid_str_canonical (zuuid_t *self);
//  Store UUID blob in target array
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    zuuid_export (zuuid_t *self, byte *target);
//  Check if UUID is same as supplied value
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
    zuuid_eq (zuuid_t *self, const byte *compare);
//  Check if UUID is different from supplied value
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
    zuuid_neq (zuuid_t *self, const byte *compare);
//  Make copy of UUID object; if uuid is null, or memory was exhausted,
//  returns null.
CZMQ_EXPORT zuuid_t *
    zuuid_dup (zuuid_t *self);
//  Self test of this class.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    zuuid_test (bool verbose);
Please add '@interface' section in './../src/zuuid.c'.

DESCRIPTION

The zuuid class generates UUIDs and provides methods for working with them. If you build CZMQ with libuuid, on Unix/Linux, it will use that library. On Windows it will use UuidCreate(). Otherwise it will use a random number generator to produce convincing imitations of UUIDs.

Please add @discuss section in ./../src/zuuid.c.

EXAMPLE

From zuuid_test method.

    //  Simple create/destroy test
    assert (ZUUID_LEN == 16);
    assert (ZUUID_STR_LEN == 32);
    zuuid_t *uuid = zuuid_new ();
    assert (uuid);
    assert (zuuid_size (uuid) == ZUUID_LEN);
    assert (strlen (zuuid_str (uuid)) == ZUUID_STR_LEN);
    zuuid_t *copy = zuuid_dup (uuid);
    assert (streq (zuuid_str (uuid), zuuid_str (copy)));
    //  Check set/set_str/export methods
    const char *myuuid = "8CB3E9A9649B4BEF8DE225E9C2CEBB38";
    const char *myuuid2 = "8CB3E9A9-649B-4BEF-8DE2-25E9C2CEBB38";
    const char *myuuid3 = "{8CB3E9A9-649B-4BEF-8DE2-25E9C2CEBB38}";
    const char *myuuid4 = "8CB3E9A9649B4BEF8DE225E9C2CEBB3838";
    int rc = zuuid_set_str (uuid, myuuid);
    assert (rc == 0);
    assert (streq (zuuid_str (uuid), myuuid));
    rc = zuuid_set_str (uuid, myuuid2);
    assert (rc == 0);
    assert (streq (zuuid_str (uuid), myuuid));
    rc = zuuid_set_str (uuid, myuuid3);
    assert (rc == 0);
    assert (streq (zuuid_str (uuid), myuuid));
    rc = zuuid_set_str (uuid, myuuid4);
    assert (rc == -1);
    byte copy_uuid [ZUUID_LEN];
    zuuid_export (uuid, copy_uuid);
    zuuid_set (uuid, copy_uuid);
    assert (streq (zuuid_str (uuid), myuuid));
    //  Check the canonical string format
    assert (streq (zuuid_str_canonical (uuid),
                   "8cb3e9a9-649b-4bef-8de2-25e9c2cebb38"));
    zuuid_destroy (&uuid);
    zuuid_destroy (&copy);
