Overview ¶
Package guid provides a GUID type. The backing structure for a GUID is identical to that used by the golang.org/x/sys/windows GUID type. There are two main binary encodings used for a GUID, the big-endian encoding, and the Windows (mixed-endian) encoding. See here for details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier#Encoding

Types ¶
type GUID ¶
func FromString ¶
FromString parses a string containing a GUID and returns the GUID. The only format currently supported is the `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx` format.
func FromWindowsArray ¶
FromWindowsArray constructs a GUID from a Windows encoding array of bytes.
func NewV5 ¶
NewV5 returns a new version 5 (generated from a string via SHA-1 hashing) GUID, as defined by RFC 4122. The RFC is unclear on the encoding of the name, and the sample code treats it as a series of bytes, so we do the same here.
Some implementations, such as those found on Windows, treat the name as a big-endian UTF16 stream of bytes. If that is desired, the string can be encoded as such before being passed to this function.
func (GUID) MarshalText ¶
MarshalText returns the textual representation of the GUID.
func (GUID) ToArray ¶
ToArray returns an array of 16 bytes representing the GUID in big-endian encoding.
func (GUID) ToWindowsArray ¶
ToWindowsArray returns an array of 16 bytes representing the GUID in Windows encoding.
func (*GUID) UnmarshalText ¶
UnmarshalText takes the textual representation of a GUID, and unmarhals it into this GUID.
