This is my version of the from my (endless) didn't send list
Only the main code
int uuidgen_main(int argc, char **argv) MAIN_EXTERNALLY_VISIBLE;
int uuidgen_main(int argc UNUSED_PARAM, char **argv UNUSED_PARAM)
{
struct volume_id id;
char uuid[37];
generate_uuid(uuid);
volume_id_set_uuid(&id, uuid, UUID_DCE);
printf("%s\n", id.uuid);
return 0;
}
I didn't check the size.
You can take this
