Constructor & Destructor Documentation

karoo::uuid::uuid

(

const text &

str

)

Create a valid Version 3 MD5 URL UUID.

Parameters:

str

the URL string (does not need to be null terminated.)

If str is precisely a UUID string rather than a URL, then it will do a byte-wise conversion directly to UUID.

karoo::uuid::uuid

(

struct timeval

tv

)

Create a valid Version 1 time-based UUID.

Parameters:

tv

time stamp

karoo::uuid::uuid

(

const uuid &

ref

)

Create a UUID which is an exact copy of another.

Parameters:

ref

the UUID to copy byte-by-byte

Member Function Documentation

const char* karoo::uuid::toString

(

)

const

Get the standard string representation of the UUID.

Returns:

a pointer to the internally cached string. This will be freed by the destructor.
