Note that the UUID creation time is only encoded within +certain types of UUIDs. This function can only reasonably expect to +extract the creation time for UUIDs created with the +.BR uuid_generate_time (3) +and +.BR uuid_generate_time_safe (3) +functions. It may or may not work with UUIDs created by other mechanisms. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +The time at which the UUID was created, in seconds since January 1, 1970 GMT +(the epoch), is returned (see +.BR time "(2))." +The time at which the UUID was created, in seconds and microseconds since +the epoch, is also stored in the location pointed to by +.I ret_tv +(see +.BR gettimeofday "(2))." +.SH AUTHOR +Theodore Y.\& Ts'o +.SH AVAILABILITY +.B libuuid +is part of the util-linux package since version 2.15.1 and is available from +https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. +.na +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR uuid (3), +.BR uuid_clear (3), +.BR uuid_compare (3), +.BR uuid_copy (3), +.BR uuid_generate (3), +.BR uuid_is_null (3), +.BR uuid_parse (3), +.BR uuid_unparse (3) +.ad |
