+.TH UUID_UNPARSE 3 "May 2009" "util-linux" "Libuuid API"
+.SH NAME
+uuid_unparse \- convert a UUID from binary representation to a string
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <uuid.h>
+.sp
+.BI "void uuid_unparse(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out );
+.BI "void uuid_unparse_upper(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out );
+.BI "void uuid_unparse_lower(uuid_t " uu ", char *" out );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B uuid_unparse
+function converts the supplied UUID
+.I uu
+from the binary representation into a 36-byte string (plus trailing '\e0')
+of the form 1b4e28ba\-2fa1\-11d2\-883f\-0016d3cca427 and stores this
+value in the character string pointed to by
+.IR out .
+The case of the hex digits returned by
+.B uuid_unparse
+may be upper or lower case, and is
+dependent on the system-dependent local default.
+.PP
+If the case of the
+hex digits is important then the functions
+.B uuid_unparse_upper
+and
+.B uuid_unparse_lower
+may be used.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+This library unparses UUIDs compatible with OSF DCE 1.1.
