RE: [Xen-devel] xenstore -- read UUID

[dinesh chandrasekaran <dinesh_chan8@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Absolulty. Thanks.
                            but uuid_unparse() is defined in /usr/include/uuid which means I could use this only from the use space in domain-0.
The hypervisor doesnot include these user space libraries. How could I convery the dmain->handle; the 16 byte uuid to a human readable
from inside the hypervisor?

thanks,
Dinesh C
