+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The family of DCE 1.1 compliant UUID functions allow applications to operate
+on universally unique identifiers, or UUIDs.
+The
+.Fn uuid_create
+and
+.Fn uuid_create_nil
+functions create UUIDs.
+The
+.Fn uuid_compare ,
+.Fn uuid_equal
+and
+.Fn uuid_is_nil
+functions can be used to test UUIDs.
+To convert from the binary representation to the string representation or
+vice versa, use
+.Fn uuid_to_string
+or
+.Fn uuid_from_string
+respectively.
+A 16-bit hash value can be obtained by calling
+.Fn uuid_hash .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn uuid_enc_le
+and
+.Fn uuid_enc_be
+functions encode a binary representation of a UUID into an octet stream
+in little-endian and big-endian byte-order, respectively.
+The destination buffer must be pre-allocated by the caller, and must be
+large enough to hold the 16-octet binary UUID.
+These routines are not part of the DCE RPC API.
+They are provided for convenience.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn uuid_dec_le
+and
+.Fn uuid_dec_be
+functions decode a UUID from an octet stream in little-endian and
+big-endian byte-order, respectively.
+These routines are not part of the DCE RPC API.
+They are provided for convenience.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The successful or unsuccessful completion of the function is returned in
+the
+.Fa status
+argument.
+Possible values are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv uuid_s_invalid_string_uuid"
+.It Dv uuid_s_ok
+The function completed successfully.
+.It Dv uuid_s_bad_version
+The UUID does not have a known version.
+.It Dv uuid_s_invalid_string_uuid
+The string representation of an UUID is not valid.
+.It Dv uuid_s_no_memory
+The meaning of the code escaped the writers mind.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr uuidgen 1 ,
+.Xr uuidgen 2
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The UUID functions conform to the DCE 1.1 RPC specification.
+.Sh BUGS
+This manpage can be improved.
