# hwid

Quick hack to determine the hardware id of a machine.  This uses the MAC address of the primary network interface and expresses it as a string containing the address in base36.  This isn't particularly robust, but it comes in handly in some cases.

To install the command line utility just to a

```shell

go install github.com/borud/hwid/cmd/hwid@latest

```

If you want to use it in your application as a library, the following is the source of `cmd/hwid` (just because I know you are too lazy to click 😃)

```go

package main

import (

    "flag"

    "fmt"

    "log"

    

    "github.com/borud/hwid"

)

var intf string

func init() {

    flag.StringVar(&intf, "i", "", "network interface")

    flag.Parse()

}

func main() {

     id, err := hwid.ID(intf)

     if err != nil {

         log.Fatal(err)

     }

     fmt.Println(id)

}

```
