+ *  This function returns the SDL compatible GUID, as a UTF-8 encoded
+ *  hexadecimal string, of the specified joystick.  The returned string is
+ *  allocated and freed by GLFW.  You should not free it yourself.
+ *
+ *  If the specified joystick is not present this function will return `NULL`
+ *  but will not generate an error.  Call @ref glfwJoystickPresent to check
+ *  device presence.

+ *  The GUID uses the format introduced in SDL 2.0.5.  This GUID tries to
+ *  uniquely identify the make and model of a joystick but does not identify
+ *  a specific unit, e.g. all wired Xbox 360 controllers will have the same
+ *  GUID on that platform.  The GUID for a unit may vary between platforms
+ *  depending on what hardware information the platform specific APIs provide.
