UuidParse

Parses a canonical UUID string into raw bytes.

Module: Std::UUID

Signature

func UuidParse(str: char8[]) -> String;
func UuidParse(str: *const char8, length: uint) -> String;

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
str	char8[] / *const char8	The canonical UUID text.
length	uint	Length of the text (pointer form).

Returns

String — the 16 decoded UUID bytes, packed into a String of length 16.

Description

Parses a 36-character canonical UUID (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx) into its raw bytes, accepting upper- or lowercase hex digits.

WARNING

The input must be exactly 36 characters with hyphens in the correct positions and valid hex elsewhere; otherwise the call aborts via Fatal. To check input safely first, use IsValidUuid.

Example

import Std::UUID;

if UUID::IsValidUuid(text) {
    let bytes = UUID::UuidParse(text);   // 16 bytes
}
