Function name : UuidToString

Group: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) - Library: rpcrt4

Converts a UUID to a string.

Declaration:

RPC_STATUS RPC_ENTRY UuidToString(
	UUID __RPC_FAR *Uuid ,
	unsigned char __RPC_FAR * __RPC_FAR *StringUuid
);

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER UuidToString IN Rpcrt4;
	STRING @Uuid,;
	LONG @StringUuid

Parameters:

Uuid Pointer to a binary UUID.

StringUuid Pointer to a pointer to the string into which the UUID specified in the Uuid parameter will be placed.

Comments:

String representation of a UUID looks like this

The application is responsible for calling the RpcStringFree to release the memory that the system allocates for the StringUuid.

Note that the StringUuid is a pointer to a pointer, which adds one or two subtleties to the RPC declarations and calls in VFP.
