40 * @title: GUuid
41 * @short_description: a universally unique identifier
43 * A UUID, or Universally unique identifier, is intended to uniquely
44 * identify information in a distributed environment. For the
45 * definition of UUID, see [RFC 4122](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122.html).
47 * The creation of UUIDs does not require a centralized authority.
49 * UUIDs are of relatively small size (128 bits, or 16 bytes). The
50 * common string representation (ex:
51 * 1d6c0810-2bd6-45f3-9890-0268422a6f14) needs 37 bytes.
53 * The UUID specification defines 5 versions, and calling
54 * g_uuid_string_random() will generate a unique (or rather random)
55 * UUID of the most common version, version 4.
57 * Since: 2.52
61 * g_uuid_to_string:
62 * @uuid: a #GUuid
64 * Creates a string representation of @uuid, of the form
65 * 06e023d5-86d8-420e-8103-383e4566087a (no braces nor urn:uuid:
66 * prefix).
68 * Returns: (transfer full): A string that should be freed with g_free().
