Detailed Description

Globally unique ID definition. This implements a 128 bit globally unique ID as required by many protocols and software systems. The value is constructed in such a way as to make a duplicate anywhere in the world highly unlikely.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PGloballyUniqueID::PGloballyUniqueID

(

)

Create a new ID. The ID created with this will be initialised to a globally unique ID as per specification.

PGloballyUniqueID::PGloballyUniqueID

(

const char *

cstr

)

Create an ID from a C string of hex (as produced by AsString()). A useful construct is to construct a OpalGloballyUniqueID() with NULL which produces an all zero GUID, etectable with the isNULL() function.

Parameters:

cstr	C string to convert

PGloballyUniqueID::PGloballyUniqueID

(

const PString &

str

)

Create an ID from a PString of hex (as produced by AsString()).

Parameters:

str	String of hex to convert

PGloballyUniqueID::PGloballyUniqueID

(

const PASN_OctetString &

ostr

)

Create an ID from an octet string in an ASN PDU.

Parameters:

ostr	Octet string from ASN to convert

PGloballyUniqueID::PGloballyUniqueID

(

)

Create a new ID. The ID created with this will be initialised to a globally unique ID as per specification.

PGloballyUniqueID::PGloballyUniqueID

(

const char *

cstr

)

Create an ID from a C string of hex (as produced by AsString()). A useful construct is to construct a OpalGloballyUniqueID() with NULL which produces an all zero GUID, etectable with the isNULL() function.

Parameters:

cstr	C string to convert

PGloballyUniqueID::PGloballyUniqueID

(

const PString &

str

)

Create an ID from a PString of hex (as produced by AsString()).

Parameters:

str	String of hex to convert

PGloballyUniqueID::PGloballyUniqueID

(

const PASN_OctetString &

ostr

)

Create an ID from an octet string in an ASN PDU.

Parameters:

ostr	Octet string from ASN to convert

Member Function Documentation

virtual void PGloballyUniqueID::PrintOn

(

ostream &

strm

)

const [virtual]

Standard stream print function. The PObject class has a << operator defined that calls this function polymorphically.

Parameters:

strm	Stream to output text representation

Reimplemented from PAbstractArray.

virtual void PGloballyUniqueID::ReadFrom

(

istream &

strm

)

[virtual]

Standard stream read function. The PObject class has a >> operator defined that calls this function polymorphically.

Parameters:

strm	Stream to output text representation

Reimplemented from PAbstractArray.

virtual PObject* PGloballyUniqueID::Clone

(

)

const [virtual]

Create a clone of the ID. The duplicate ID has the same value as the source. Required for having this object as a key in dictionaries.

Reimplemented from PBaseArray< T >.

virtual PINDEX PGloballyUniqueID::HashFunction

(

)

const [virtual]

Get the hash value for the ID. Creates a number based on the ID value for use in the hash table of a dictionary. Required for having this object as a key in dictionaries.

Reimplemented from PObject.

PString PGloballyUniqueID::AsString

(

)

const

Convert the ID to human readable string.

PBoolean PGloballyUniqueID::IsNULL

(

)

const

Test if the GUID is null, ie consists of all zeros.

PBoolean PGloballyUniqueID::operator!

(

)

const [inline]
