# 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 `
