Detailed Description

(Static) Class for generating/constructing UUIDs

This class provides ability to "generate" (using system/platform calls) a UUID, as well as to "construct" a UUID from MAC address, hostname, and random number generation. The main Generate/Construct methods returns the uuid as binary, which can be converted to the 26 character string by calling ConvertBinaryUUIDToString. Note: The MAC address code comes from gdcm (see the copyright above).

Member Function Documentation

static vtkKWEUUID* vtkKWEUUID::New

(

)

[static]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

vtkKWEUUID::vtkTypeRevisionMacro	(	vtkKWEUUID	,
		vtkObject
	)

void vtkKWEUUID::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)			[virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static int vtkKWEUUID::GenerateUUID

(

unsigned char

uuid[16]

)

[static]

Generate a (binary) UUID using system/platform method call. Note, it may fail (return value -1), in which case you can call ConstructUUID.

static void vtkKWEUUID::ConstructUUID

(

unsigned char

uuid[16]

)

[static]

Construct a (binary) UUID from MAC address (if can successfully acquire), hostname, and random # generation. This fn is guaranteed to create an "uuid" (a semi-unique number) based on random # generation, regardless of whether the MAC address and/or hostname is obtained.

static void vtkKWEUUID::ConvertBinaryUUIDToString	(	unsigned char	uuid[16],
		vtkstd::string &	uuidString
	)			[static]

Convert a (16-byte) binary UUID to its string form (in hexadecimal): XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

static int vtkKWEUUID::GetMACAddress

(

unsigned char

addr[6]

)

[static]

Get the 6-byte binary MAC address. Returns -1 on failure.
