CoCreateGuidGUID

CoCreateGuid is a function within the Windows operating system that is used to create a Globally Unique Identifier, often referred to as a GUID or UUID. A GUID is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems during software development. The CoCreateGuid function generates a new GUID according to the standards set by Microsoft. This function is part of the Component Object Model (COM) infrastructure in Windows. It ensures that the generated GUIDs are highly unlikely to collide with any other GUIDs generated elsewhere. The returned GUID can be used for various purposes, such as identifying COM classes, interfaces, or other objects within an application. The function is typically called by developers who need a unique identifier for their software components. The generated GUID is stored in a GUID structure.
