<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function>
formats a 128-bit ID as a character string. It expects
2012-07-06 19:50:00 +04:00
the ID and a string array capable of storing 33
characters. The ID will be formatted as 32 lowercase
2013-06-29 20:09:14 +04:00
hexadecimal digits and be terminated by a
<constant>NUL</constant> byte.</para>
2012-07-06 19:50:00 +04:00
<para><function>sd_id128_from_string()</function>
implements the reverse operation: it takes a 33
2013-06-29 20:09:14 +04:00
character string with 32 hexadecimal digits (either
lowercase or uppercase, terminated by
<constant>NUL</constant>) and parses them back into a
128-bit ID returned in
<parameter>ret</parameter>. Alternatively, this call
can also parse a 37-character string with a 128-bit ID
formatted as RFC UUID.</para>
2012-07-06 19:50:00 +04:00
<para>For more information about the
<literal>sd_id128_t</literal> type see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Note
that these calls operate the same way on all
architectures, i.e. the results do not depend on
endianness.</para>
2012-07-06 19:50:00 +04:00
<para>When formatting a 128-bit ID into a string, it is
2012-07-06 19:50:00 +04:00
often easier to use a format string for
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. This
is easily done using the
2012-07-06 19:50:00 +04:00
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</function> and
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</function> macros. For
more information see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function> always
succeeds and returns a pointer to the string array
passed in. <function>sd_id128_from_string</function>
returns 0 on success, in which case
<parameter>ret</parameter> is filled in, or a negative
2012-07-06 19:50:00 +04:00
errno-style error code.</para>
