	unsigned32 *status);

PARAMETERS

Input

uuid

Specifies a UUID to be converted to string format.

Output

string_uuid

DESCRIPTION

The uuid_to_string() routine converts a UUID to string UUID.

Note:

The RPC run-time system allocates memory for the string returned in string_uuid. To deallocate the memory, the application calls the rpc_string_free() routine.

RETURN VALUE

None.
