Description
Creates a globally unique identifier.
CreateGUID sets GUID to a newly created Globally Unique Identifier.
Note: Under Windows, CreateGUID calls the Windows API CoCreateGuid.
Note: On MAC OS, GUID is generated using the uuid_generate_time function from the libc runtime, which uses the NIC MAC address, if available.
