Could someone show me a reliable way (with code example if poss) of

I tried to RTFM, but the F thing was F incomprehensible.
Well, I RTFM again, and it turns out it has a F serious typo. It's in
Core Foundation Utility Services Tasks. In case you ever need to use it,
for "kCFDefaultAllocator", read "kCFAllocatorDefault". I only picked up
on this when I trawled the section on dates looking for clues.
However, since I'm replying to my own post, I thought I'd include the
code I've used, in case anyone has any comments/criticisms:
- (IBAction)generateAction:(id)sender
{
NSString *myString;
CFUUIDRef myUUID;
CFStringRef myUUIDString;
char strBuffer[100];
myUUID = CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);
myUUIDString = CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, myUUID);
CFStringGetCString(myUUIDString, strBuffer, 100,
kCFStringEncodingASCII);
myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s", strBuffer];
[textView1 setString:myString];
}
I'd appreciate any input, as this is the first time I've used Core
Foundation.
