QUuid::QUuid(const GUID &guid)

Casts a Windows guid to a Qt QUuid.

Warning: This function is only for Windows platforms.

QUuid::QUuid(const QByteArray &text)

Creates a QUuid object from the QByteArray text, which must be formatted as five hex fields separated by '-', e.g., "{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}" where each 'x' is a hex digit. The curly braces shown here are optional, but it is normal to include them. If the conversion fails, a null UUID is created. See toByteArray() for an explanation of how the five hex fields map to the public data members in QUuid.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

See also toByteArray() and QUuid().

QUuid::QUuid(const QString &text)

Creates a QUuid object from the string text, which must be formatted as five hex fields separated by '-', e.g., "{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}" where each 'x' is a hex digit. The curly braces shown here are optional, but it is normal to include them. If the conversion fails, a null UUID is created. See toString() for an explanation of how the five hex fields map to the public data members in QUuid.

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, l, w1, w2, b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8.

Example:

// {67C8770B-44F1-410A-AB9A-F9B5446F13EE} QUuid IID_MyInterface(0x67c8770b, 0x44f1, 0x410a, 0xab, 0x9a, 0xf9, 0xb5, 0x44, 0x6f, 0x13, 0xee);

QUuid::QUuid()

Creates the null UUID. toString() will output the null UUID as "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}".

QUuid &QUuid::operator=(const GUID &guid)

Assigns a Windows guid to a Qt QUuid.

Warning: This function is only for Windows platforms.

[static] QUuid QUuid::fromRfc4122(const QByteArray &bytes)

Creates a QUuid object from the binary representation of the UUID, as specified by RFC 4122 section 4.1.2. See toRfc4122() for a further explanation of the order of bytes required.

The byte array accepted is NOT a human readable format.

If the conversion fails, a null UUID is created.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

[static] QUuid QUuid::fromString(QStringView text)

Creates a QUuid object from the string text, which must be formatted as five hex fields separated by '-', e.g., "{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}" where each 'x' is a hex digit.

QByteArray QUuid::toRfc4122() const

Returns the binary representation of this QUuid. The byte array is in big endian format, and formatted according to RFC 4122, section 4.1.2 - "Layout and byte order".

QUuid::Version QUuid::version() const

Returns the version field of the UUID, if the UUID's variant field is QUuid::DCE. Otherwise it returns QUuid::VerUnknown.

See also variant().

GUID QUuid::operator GUID() const

Returns a Windows GUID from a QUuid.
