In case it helps, this is the system type definition:

#ifndef _POSIX_C_SOURCE
#ifndef _UUID_T
#define _UUID_T
typedef __darwin_uuid_t         uuid_t;
#endif /* _UUID_T */
#endif /* _POSIX_C_SOURCE */

You might want to look for the macro _UUID_T, maybe ?


The actual type is used in "the UUID library" at:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4/xnu-792/bsd/uuid/ 
uuid.h
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/xnu-1228/bsd/uuid/ 
uuid.h

i.e. it comes with the system kernel, on Mac OS X.
