generate_guid

Generate a D-Bus GUID that can be used with e.

g. @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 g_free.
