It seems only libblkid requires solely uuid_unparse() :-) So, I guess all we need is to use already implemented blkid_unparse_uuid() where is the magic snprintf. I have applied this change: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/c2435b946f574880201cb41d989d8d63d4bbf87d The another stuff (e.g. mkswap, libfdisk, ...) depends on uuid_parse() or/and uuid_generate(). So, libuuid is required there. > Move the uuid_unparse functions to uuid.h and make them static > inline, so that applications depending solely on the uuid_unparse > functions don't need to pull in libuuid.
