mozillainstallhash

Gets the hash used to differentiate between installs of Mozilla software in installs.ini and profiles.ini.

Example

1. Create a new local Go module:

   1. Create a new directory e.g. $GOPATH/src/get_mozilla_install_hash
   2. Change into the newly created directory
   3. Run go mod init get_mozilla_install_hash

2. Create a new file get_mozilla_install_hash.go:

   package main
   
   import (
   	"fmt"
   	"log"
   	"os"
   	"strings"
   
   	"github.com/bradenhilton/mozillainstallhash"
   )
   
   const usage = `
   get_mozilla_install_hash
   	Get the hash used to differentiate between installs of Mozilla software.
   
   Usage:
   	get_mozilla_install_hash <path> [<path> ...]
   
   Where <path> is a string describing the parent directory of the executable,
   e.g. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox", with platform specific path separators
   ("\" on Windows and "/" on Unix-like systems)
   
   Example:
   	get_mozilla_install_hash "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
   	308046B0AF4A39CB
   
   	get_mozilla_install_hash "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox"
   	9D561FCD08DC6D55
   
   	get_mozilla_install_hash "/usr/lib/firefox"
   	4F96D1932A9F858E`
   
   func main() {
   	if len(os.Args) == 1 {
   		log.Println(fmt.Errorf("error: no path specified"))
   		fmt.Println(usage)
   		os.Exit(1)
   	}
   
   	paths := os.Args[1:]
   	for _, path := range paths {
   		path = strings.TrimSuffix(path, "/")
   		path = strings.TrimSuffix(path, "\\")
   
   		hash, err := mozillainstallhash.MozillaInstallHash(path)
   		if err != nil {
   			log.Println(err)
   			continue
   		}
   
   		fmt.Println(hash)
   	}
   }

3. Run go get github.com/bradenhilton/mozillainstallhash

4. Run go run get_mozilla_install_hash.go <your_path_here>
