#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
_WinAPI_CreateObjectID ( $sFilePath )
| $sFilePath | Path to the file or directory to create or retrieve object identifier. |
| Success: | $tagGUID structure that contains the object identifier for the file or directory within the volume on which it resides. |
| Failure: | Sets the @error flag to non-zero. |
If the object identifier of a file or directory does not already have one, the _WinAPI_CreateObjectID() creates it.
If the object identifier already exists, the function just returns it.
