# 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`:

```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 [ ...]

Where 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 `
