💖 APR::UUID — docs::a...R::UUID(3) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for docs::a...R::UUID(3). It’s literally the Perl API for manipulating APR UUIDs, and we’re gonna get through it together 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

APR::UUID — Perl API for manipulating APR UUIDs.

🎀 Synopsis 🎀

use APR::UUID ();

# get a random UUID and format it as a string
my $uuid = APR::UUID->new->format;
# $uuid = e.g. 'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6';

# same as the object returned by APR::UUID->new
my $uuid_parsed = APR::UUID->parse($uuid);

🦋 Description 🦋

APR::UUID is used to get and manipulate random UUIDs.

It lets you create random UUIDs, and when they’re formatted you get a string like:

'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6';

which can be parsed back into the APR::UUID object with parse(). Iconic behavior, honestly 🫶

🔥 API 🔥

APR::UUID provides the following functions and/or methods:

✨ format ✨

Convert an APR::UUID object object into a string presentation:

my $uuid_str = $uuid->format;

• obj: $uuid (APR::UUID object)
• ret: $uuid_str — returns a string representation of the object (e.g. 'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6').
• since: 2.0.00

🌟 new 🌟

Create a APR::UUID object using the random engine:

my $uuid = APR::UUID->new;

• class: APR::UUID (APR::UUID class)
• ret: $uuid (APR::UUID object)
• since: 2.0.00

💀 DESTROY 💀

$uuid->DESTROY;

• obj: APR::UUID (APR::UUID object)
• ret: no return value
• since: 2.0.00

🚨 bestie, do not call this method. It’s designed to be only called by Perl when the variable goes out of scope. If you call it yourself you will get a segfault when perl will call DESTROY on its own. Like, respect the lifecycle, okay? 💅

🧚 parse 🧚

Convert a UUID string into an APR::UUID object object:

$uuid = APR::UUID->parse($uuid_str)

• arg1: $uuid_str (string) — UUID string (e.g. 'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6')
• ret: $uuid (APR::UUID object) — the new object.
• since: 2.0.00
