Variable `std.uuid.UUID.data`

It is sometimes useful to get or set the 16 bytes of a UUID directly.


						
				struct UUID
				

				
					{
					

				
				  // ...
				

				  ubyte[16] data
				;
				

				  // ...
				

				}

Note

UUID uses a 16-ubyte representation for the UUID data. RFC 4122 defines a UUID as a special structure in big-endian format. These 16-ubytes always equal the big-endian structure defined in RFC 4122.

Example

auto rawData = uuid.data; //get data
rawData[0] = 1; //modify
uuid.data = rawData; //set data
uuid.data[1] = 2; //modify directly
