2.3 Comparison Procedures
=========================

 -- procedure: uuid?
          (uuid? UUID)

     Is `UUID' a uuid?

 -- procedure: uuid-nil?
          (uuid-nil? UUID)

     Is `UUID' the "nil" uuid?

 -- procedure: uuid=
          (uuid= UUID1 UUID2)

     Are `UUID1' and `UUID2' equal?

 -- procedure: uuid<>
          (uuid<> UUID1 UUID2)

     Are `UUID1' and `UUID2' not equal?

 -- procedure: uuid<
          (uuid< UUID1 UUID2)

     Does `UUID1' order below `UUID2'?

 -- procedure: uuid>
          (uuid> UUID1 UUID2)

     Does `UUID1' order above `UUID2'?

 -- procedure: uuid<=
          (uuid<= UUID1 UUID2)

     Does `UUID1' order below or the same as `UUID2'?

 -- procedure: uuid>=
          (uuid>= UUID1 UUID2)

     Does `UUID1' order above or the same as `UUID2'?

2.4 Creation Procedures
=======================

 -- procedure: uuid-clone

     Returns a copy of the `UUID'.

 -- procedure: uuid-load
          (uuid-load NAMESPACE)

     Returns a uuid for the `NAMESPACE'.

 -- procedure: make-uuid
          (make-uuid [VARIANT [NAMESPACE NAME]])

     Returns a uuid `VARIANT', or the nil uuid when 					missing. The
     `NAMESPACE' and `NAME' are 					required for V3 and V5.

 -- procedure: uuid-import
          (uuid-import STRING)

     Returns a uuid from the external `STRING' representation.

 -- procedure: uuid-import-binary
          (uuid-import-binary BINARY-STRING)

     Returns a uuid from the external `BINARY-STRING' representation.

2.5 Export Procedures
=====================

 -- procedure: uuid-export

 -- procedure: uuid-export-binary
          (uuid-export-binary UUID)

     Returns the external binary-string representation of `UUID'.

 -- procedure: uuid-export-text
          (uuid-export-text UUID)

     Returns the external text representation of `UUID'.

2.6 Auxillary Procedures
========================

 -- procedure: uuid-version
          (uuid-version)

     Returns OSSP UUID Library version as an unsigned-long.


File: uuid-ossp.egg.info,  Node: Errors,  Prev: Auxillary Procedures,  Up: Documentation

2.7 Errors
==========

Errors generated by the OSSP UUID Library are signalled 				using a
condition of `(exn uuid)' , with properties `message', the error
message, and `code', 				the error code.

   Argument errors are signalled using `error'.

3 Issues
********

The use of the "uuid" prefix/name by the OSSP UUID Library 			is
problematic. A generic name often with an existing meaning.

   Reed Sheridan has pointed out that the Debian system renames 			the
library, as an existing library of the same name already
exists. For example, `uuid.h' is `ossp/uuid.h'.

   Without the use of a build system which can deal with platform
specific conditions installation of this egg might require manual
intervention. The file "uuid-ossp-fix.c" has the references to the
include file.
