Detailed Description

GUID structure and generation.

Function Documentation

GATE_CORE_API gate_result_t gate_guid_generate ( gate_guid_t * guid )

Generates a new globally unique identifier.

Parameters

[out] guid pointer to GUID structure

GATE_CORE_API gate_bool_t gate_guid_equals	(	gate_guid_t const *	g1,
		gate_guid_t const *	g2 )

Compares two GUIDs and returns true if they are equal.

Parameters

[in]	g1	Pointer to first guid to be compared with second
[in]	g2	Pointer to second guid to be compared with first

GATE_CORE_API gate_result_t gate_guid_to_string	(	gate_guid_t const *	srcguid,
		char	dsttext[37] )

Fills a 37 character buffer with a string representation of the GUID.

Parameters

[in]	srcguid	Pointer to GUID that is going to be printed
[out]	dsttext	buffer to at least 37 characters to receive the GUID's string representation

GATE_CORE_API gate_result_t gate_guid_parse_string	(	char const *	srctext,
		gate_size_t	srctextlen,
		gate_guid_t *	dstguid )

Parses a text buffer content to build a GUID structure from it.

Parameters

[in]	srctext	Pointer to text to be parsed
[in]	srctextlen	Amount of characters in `srctext`
[out]	dstguid	Pointer to GUID that is set to parsed values
