Converts a character-string representation of a Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) into a UUID.

void uuid_$decode (uuid_string, uuid, status)
char *uuid_string;
uuid_$t *uuid;
status_$t *status;

The uuid_$decode routine returns the UUID corresponding to a valid character-string representation of a UUID.

Input
uuid_string	Points to the character-string representation of a UUID in the form uuid_$string_t.

Output
uuid	Points to the UUID that corresponds to the character string represented in the uuid_string parameter.
