<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQUuid class defines a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).
<p>
<p> For objects or declarations that must be uniquely identified,
UUIDs (also known as GUIDs) are widely used in order to assign a
fixed and easy to compare value to the object or declaration. The
128-bit value of a UUID is generated by an algorithm that
guarantees that the value is unique.
<p> In TQt, UUIDs are wrapped by the TQUuid struct which provides
convenience functions for handling UUIDs. Most platforms provide a
tool to generate new UUIDs, for example, uuidgen and guidgen.
<p> UUIDs generated by TQUuid, are based on the <a href="#Version-enum">Random</a> version of the
<a href="#Variant-enum">DCE</a> (Distributed Computing Environment) standard.
<p> UUIDs can be constructed from numeric values or from strings, or
using the static <a href="#createUuid">createUuid</a>() function. They can be converted to a
string with <a href="#toString">toString</a>(). UUIDs have a <a href="#variant">variant</a>() and a <a href="#version">version</a>(),
and null UUIDs return TRUE from <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>().
<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="Variant-enum"></a>TQUuid::Variant</h3>
<p> This enum defines the variant of the UUID, which is the scheme
which defines the layout of the 128-bits value.
<ul>
<li><tt>TQUuid::VarUnknown</tt> - Variant is unknown
<li><tt>TQUuid::NCS</tt> - Reserved for NCS (Network Computing System) backward compatibility
<li><tt>TQUuid::DCE</tt> - Distributed Computing Environment, the scheme used by TQUuid
<li><tt>TQUuid::Microsoft</tt> - Reserved for Microsoft backward compatibility (GUID)
<li><tt>TQUuid::Reserved</tt> - Reserved for future definition
</ul>
<h3 class=fn><a name="Version-enum"></a>TQUuid::Version</h3>
<p> This enum defines the version of the UUID.
<ul>
<li><tt>TQUuid::VerUnknown</tt> - Version is unknown
<li><tt>TQUuid::Time</tt> - Time-based, by using timestamp, clock sequence, and
MAC network card address (if available) for the node sections
<li><tt>TQUuid::EmbeddedPOSIX</tt> - DCE Security version, with embedded POSIX UUIDs
<li><tt>TQUuid::Name</tt> - Name-based, by using values from a name for all sections
<li><tt>TQUuid::Random</tt> - Random-based, by using random numbers for all sections
</ul>

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQUuid"></a>TQUuid::TQUuid ()
</h3>
<p> Creates the null UUID {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQUuid-2"></a>TQUuid::TQUuid ( uint&nbsp;l, ushort&nbsp;w1, ushort&nbsp;w2, uchar&nbsp;b1, uchar&nbsp;b2, uchar&nbsp;b3, uchar&nbsp;b4, uchar&nbsp;b5, uchar&nbsp;b6, uchar&nbsp;b7, uchar&nbsp;b8 )
</h3>
<p> Creates a UUID with the value specified by the parameters, <em>l</em>,
<em>w1</em>, <em>w2</em>, <em>b1</em>, <em>b2</em>, <em>b3</em>, <em>b4</em>, <em>b5</em>, <em>b6</em>, <em>b7</em>, <em>b8</em>.
<p> Example:
<pre>
// {67C8770B-44F1-410A-AB9A-F9B5446F13EE}
TQUuid IID_MyInterface( 0x67c8770b, 0x44f1, 0x410a, 0xab, 0x9a, 0xf9, 0xb5, 0x44, 0x6f, 0x13, 0xee )
</pre>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQUuid-3"></a>TQUuid::TQUuid ( const&nbsp;<a href="tquuid.html">TQUuid</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;orig )
</h3>
<p> Creates a copy of the TQUuid <em>orig</em>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQUuid-4"></a>TQUuid::TQUuid ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;text )
</h3>
Creates a TQUuid object from the string <em>text</em>. The function can
only convert a string in the format
{HHHHHHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHHHHHHHHHH} (where 'H' stands for a hex
digit). If the conversion fails a null UUID is created.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tquuid.html">TQUuid</a> <a name="createUuid"></a>TQUuid::createUuid ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
<p> Returns a new UUID of <a href="#Variant-enum">DCE</a> variant, and <a href="#Version-enum">Random</a> type. The
UUIDs generated are based on the platform specific pseudo-random
generator, which is usually not a cryptographic-quality random
number generator. Therefore, a UUID is not guaranteed to be unique
cross application instances.
<p> On Windows, the new UUID is extremely likely to be unique on the
same or any other system, networked or not.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#variant">variant</a>() and <a href="#version">version</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isNull"></a>TQUuid::isNull () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if this is the null UUID
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}; otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn><a name="operator-TQString"></a>TQUuid::operator TQString () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the string representation of the uuid.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#toString">toString</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator!-eq"></a>TQUuid::operator!= ( const&nbsp;<a href="tquuid.html">TQUuid</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;other ) const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if this TQUuid and the <em>other</em> TQUuid are different;
otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator-lt"></a>TQUuid::operator&lt; ( const&nbsp;<a href="tquuid.html">TQUuid</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;other ) const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if this TQUuid is of the same variant,
and lexicographically before the <em>other</em> TQUuid;
otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#variant">variant</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tquuid.html">TQUuid</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-eq"></a>TQUuid::operator= ( const&nbsp;<a href="tquuid.html">TQUuid</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;uuid )
</h3>
<p> Assigns the value of <em>uuid</em> to this TQUuid object.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator-eq-eq"></a>TQUuid::operator== ( const&nbsp;<a href="tquuid.html">TQUuid</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;other ) const

otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator-gt"></a>TQUuid::operator&gt; ( const&nbsp;<a href="tquuid.html">TQUuid</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;other ) const

and lexicographically after the <em>other</em> TQUuid;
otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#variant">variant</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="toString"></a>TQUuid::toString () const

<p> Returns the string representation of the uuid.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tquuid.html#Variant-enum">TQUuid::Variant</a> <a name="variant"></a>TQUuid::variant () const
