The UuidToString function converts a UUID to a string.

Syntax

RPC_STATUS UuidToString(
  [in]  const UUID *Uuid,
  [out] RPC_CSTR   *StringUuid
);

Parameters

[in] Uuid

Pointer to a binary UUID.

[out] StringUuid

Pointer to the null-terminated string into which the UUID specified in the Uuid parameter will be placed.

Return value

Value	Meaning
RPC_S_OK	The call succeeded.
RPC_S_OUT_OF_MEMORY	The system is out of memory.

Note For a list of valid error codes, see RPC Return Values.

Remarks

An application calls UuidToString to convert a binary UUID to a string UUID. The RPC run-time library allocates memory for the string returned in the StringUuid parameter. The application is responsible for calling RpcStringFree to deallocate that memory.
