mozillainstallhash

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

Example

First run:

go get github.com/bradenhilton/mozillainstallhash

(and possibly)

go get github.com/bradenhilton/cityhash

Create a new file e.g. get_mozilla_install_hash.go:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"os"
	"strings"

	"github.com/bradenhilton/mozillainstallhash"
)

const usage = `Gets the install hash used to determine different versions of Mozilla software

Usage:
  get_mozilla_install_hash ["<path>"] ["<path>"] etc.

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`

func main() {
	if len(os.Args) > 1 {
		paths := os.Args[1:]
		for _, path := range paths {
			path = strings.TrimSuffix(path, "/")
			path = strings.TrimSuffix(path, "\\")
			hash := mozillainstallhash.GetMozillaInstallHash(path)
			fmt.Print(hash)
		}
	} else {
		log.Println(fmt.Errorf("error: no path specified"))
		fmt.Println(usage)
	}
}

Run it:

go run get_mozilla_install_hash.go "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" "/usr/lib/firefox"

Output:

308046B0AF4A39CB
