Detailed Description

A universally unique 128-bit identifier.

This class generates very random unique numbers based on the system time and MAC addresses if any are available. It's extremely unlikely that two identical UUIDs would ever be created by chance.

The class includes methods for saving the ID as a string or as raw binary data.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Creates a new unique ID.

Destructor.

Uuid::Uuid ( const Uuid other)

Creates a copy of another UUID.

Uuid::Uuid ( const String uuidString)

Creates an ID from an encoded string version.

See also:
toString
Uuid::Uuid ( const uint8 rawData)

Creates a UUID from a 16-byte array.

getRawData

Member Function Documentation

Uuid& Uuid::operator= ( const Uuid other)

Copies another UUID.

bool Uuid::isNull ( ) const

Returns true if the ID is zero.

bool Uuid::operator== ( const Uuid other) const
bool Uuid::operator!= ( const Uuid other) const

Returns a stringified version of this UUID.

A Uuid object can later be reconstructed from this string using operator= or the constructor that takes a string parameter.

Returns:
a 32 character hex string.
Uuid& Uuid::operator= ( const String uuidString)

Copies from a stringified UUID.

The string passed in should be one that was created with the toString() method.

const uint8* Uuid::getRawData ( ) const

Returns a pointer to the internal binary representation of the ID.

This is an array of 16 bytes. To reconstruct a Uuid from its data, use the constructor or operator= method that takes an array of uint8s.

Uuid& Uuid::operator= ( const uint8 rawData)

Sets this UUID from 16-bytes of raw data.
