.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The QUuid class defines a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
In Qt, UUIDs are wrapped by the QUuid struct which provides convenience functions for handling UUIDs. Most platforms provide a tool to generate new UUIDs, for example, uuidgen and guidgen.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
UUIDs generated by QUuid, are based on the Random version of the DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) standard.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
UUIDs can be constructed from numeric values or from strings, or using the static createUuid() function. They can be converted to a string with toString(). UUIDs have a variant() and a version(), and null UUIDs return TRUE from isNull().
|
||
|
|

.SH "QUuid::Variant"
|
||
|
|

\fCQUuid::EmbeddedPOSIX\fR - DCE Security version, with embedded POSIX UUIDs
|

.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
||
|
|
.SH "QUuid::QUuid ()"
|
||
|
|
Creates the null UUID {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}.
|
||
|
|
.SH "QUuid::QUuid ( uint l, ushort w1, ushort w2, uchar b1, uchar b2, uchar b3, uchar b4, uchar b5, uchar b6, uchar b7, uchar b8 )"
|
||
|
|
Creates a UUID with the value specified by the parameters, \fIl\fR, \fIw1\fR, \fIw2\fR, \fIb1\fR, \fIb2\fR, \fIb3\fR, \fIb4\fR, \fIb5\fR, \fIb6\fR, \fIb7\fR, \fIb8\fR.

.br

|

|
|
.SH "QUuid::QUuid ( const QUuid & orig )"
|
||
|
|
Creates a copy of the QUuid \fIorig\fR.
|
||
|
|
.SH "QUuid::QUuid ( const QString & text )"
|
||
|
|
Creates a QUuid object from the string \fItext\fR. 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.
|
||
|
|
.SH "QUuid QUuid::createUuid ()\fC [static]\fR"
|
||
|
|
Returns a new UUID of DCE variant, and Random 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.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
On Windows, the new UUID is extremely likely to be unique on the same or any other system, networked or not.

.PP
|
||
|
|

||
|
|

|
||
