# globallyUniqueString

Global unique identifier for the process.

## Declaration

```swift
var globallyUniqueString: String { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The global ID for the process includes the host name, process ID, and a time stamp, which ensures that the ID is unique for the network. This property generates a new string each time its getter is invoked, and it uses a counter to guarantee that strings created from the same process are unique.
