Predicates
uuid?
- uuid? UUIDprocedure
Is UUID a uuid?
uuid-null?
- uuid-null? UUIDprocedure
Is UUID the null uuid?
uuid-compare
- uuid-compare UUID1 UUID2procedure
Returns -1, 0. or 1 for the comaprison of UUID1 and UUID2.
uuid=?
uuid<?
uuid>?
uuid<=?
uuid>=?
- uuid=? UUID1 UUID2procedure
- uuid<? UUID1 UUID2procedure

uuid-compare wrappers.
Operations
uuid-clear!
- uuid-clear! UUIDprocedure
Returns the UUID set to the null-uuid.
uuid-copy
- uuid-copy UUIDprocedure
Returns a copy of the UUID.
make-uuid
- make-uuid #!optional VARIANTprocedure
Returns a new uuid.
VARIANT is:
- 'V1 or 'time
- DCE Version 1 (MAC address) algorithm.
- 'V4 or 'random
- DCE Version 4 (random) algorithm.
- #f
- The null-uuid. The default.
An invalid MODE is an error condtion.
string->uuid
- string->uuid UUID-STRINGprocedure
Returns a new uuid from the external string representation UUID-STRING.
uuid->string
- uuid->string UUIDprocedure
Returns the external string representation of UUID.
uuid-generate
- uuid-generate #!optional METHODprocedure
Returns a new uuid.
METHOD is:
- 'random
- DCE Version 4 (random) algorithm.
- 'time
- DCE Version 1 (MAC address) algorithm.
- #f
- DCE V4 if a high-quality random device available, otherwise DCE V1. The default.
An invalid METHOD is an error condtion.
uuid-parse
- uuid-parse UUID-TEXTprocedure
Returns a new uuid from the external string representation UUID-TEXT.
uuid-unparse
- uuid-unparse UUID #!optional CASEprocedure
Returns the external string representation of UUID.
CASE is #f (the system dependent local default), 'upper, or 'lower. Default is #f.
An invalid CASE is an error condtion.
Usage
(import uuid-lib)
Notes
- The uuid?. uuid-null?, uuid-compare, uuid=?, uuid<?, uuid>?, uuid<=?, uuid>=?, make-uuid, uuid-copy, uuid-clear!, string->uuid, uuid->string share the same signature as the corresponding routines in the uuid-ossp extension.
- When a UUID argument is not of the expected type the routines will silently fail by returning #f, no matter what the declared return type. This may change in the future.
