+.TH UUID_PARSE 3 "May 2009" "util-linux" "Libuuid API"
+.SH NAME
+uuid_parse \- convert an input UUID string into binary representation
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <uuid.h>
+.sp
+.BI "int uuid_parse(char *" in ", uuid_t " uu );
+.sp
+.BI "int uuid_parse_range(char *" in_start ", char *" in_end ", uuid_t " uu );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B uuid_parse
+function converts the UUID string given by
+.I in
+into the binary representation.  The input UUID is a string of the form
+1b4e28ba\-2fa1\-11d2\-883f\-b9a761bde3fb (in
+.BR printf (3)
+format "%08x\-%04x\-%04x\-%04x\-%012x", 36 bytes plus the trailing '\e0').
+.PP
+The
+.B uuid_parse_range
+function works like
+.B uuid_parse
+but parses only range in string specified by
+.I in_start
+and
+.I in_end
+pointers.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Upon successfully parsing the input string, 0 is returned, and the UUID is
+stored in the location pointed to by
+.IR uu ,
+otherwise \-1 is returned.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+This library parses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1, and hash based UUIDs V3
+and V5 compatible with RFC-4122.
