+    Returns the unique identifier of the remote Bluetooth Low Energy device.

+    On macOS/iOS/tvOS CoreBluetooth does not expose/accept hardware addresses for
+    LE devices; instead developers are supposed to use unique 128-bit UUIDs, generated
+    by CoreBluetooth. These UUIDS will stay constant for the same central <-> peripheral
+    pair and we use them when connecting to a remote device. For a controller in the
+    \l CentralRole, this value will always be the one passed in when the controller
+    object was created. For a controller in the \l PeripheralRole, this value is invalid.
