<concept id="GUID-914DD950-4332-5F23-B725-F4D330DB19EB" xml:lang="en"><title>UID2

and UID3 statements</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<codeblock xml:space="preserve">&lt;uid2-statement&gt;

uid2-statement ::= 

UID2 <uid-value> <uid3-statement>

uid3-statement ::= 

UID3 &lt;uid-value&gt;</codeblock>

<p>Defines the second (<codeph>UID2</codeph>) and third (<codeph>UID3</codeph>)

UIDs for the resource file. The <varname>uid-value</varname> is a UID number

(or macro representing such a number).</p>

<p>At the start of a resource file, a UID triplet is stored. The first UID

of a resource file is always <codeph>0x101f4a6b</codeph>. By default, the

second UID is zero and the third UID is the resource file’s “offset”, i.e.

the twenty-bit integer generated from the resource file’s name. The defaults

can be overriden using these statements (or from a <codeph>START         RESOURCE</codeph> statement

in an mmp file).</p>

<p>Some clients of resource files read the UID values (see <xref href="GUID-AA6DEF11-6F23-3523-A9F7-F15DF918E1BA.dita#GUID-AA6DEF11-6F23-3523-A9F7-F15DF918E1BA/GUID-142C2031-3101-34E0-8A16-5410123C8D18"><apiname>RResourceFile::UidType()</apiname></xref>)

to test that a resource file is of a suitable type. In many other cases, the

reader of the resource file does not use the UID values, so there is no need

to use the <codeph>UID2/UID3</codeph> statements.</p>
