int uuid_parse( char *in, uuid_t uu); 

The uuid_parse function converts the UUID string given by in into the internal uuid_t format. The input UUID is a string of the form 1b4e28ba-2fa1-11d2-883f-b9a761bde3fb (in printf(3) format "%08x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%012x", 36 bytes plus the trailing ’\0’).

Upon successfully parsing the input string, 0 is returned, and the UUID is stored in the location pointed to by uu, otherwise -1 is returned.
