dbusGenerateGuid

fnstring dbusGenerateGuid()

Generate a D-Bus GUID that can be used with e.g. gio.dbus_connection.DBusConnection.new_.

See the D-Bus specification regarding what strings are valid D-Bus GUIDs. The specification refers to these as ‘UUIDs’ whereas GLib (for historical reasons) refers to them as ‘GUIDs’. The terms are interchangeable.

Note that D-Bus GUIDs do not follow RFC 4122.

Returns

A valid D-Bus GUID. Free with glib.global.gfree.
