GUID or Globally Unique Identifier is a pseudo-random number used in software applications. While each generated GUID is not guaranteed to be unique, the total number of unique keys (2^128) is so large that the probability of the same number being generated twice is very small.
Note that if no GUID has been recorded along with the FCS file, the name of the file is returned.
Character vector representing the GUID or the name of the file.

found. For flowFrame
objects there also
exists a replacement method.
