winfileinfo

winfileinfo is a Go module for retrieving file version and file time information on Windows.

Installation

To install the module, use go get:

go get github.com/miroslav-matejovsky/winfileinfo

Usage

Retrieving File Version Information

You can retrieve the file version information using the WinFileInfo struct.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    "github.com/miroslav-matejovsky/winfileinfo"
)

func main() {
    file := `C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe`
    wf, err := winfileinfo.NewWinFile(file)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error creating WinFile: %v", err)
    }

    fi, err := wf.GetFileInfo()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error getting file info: %v", err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("File Version: %s\n", fi.FileVersion)
    fmt.Printf("Product Version: %s\n", fi.ProductVersion)
}

Retrieving File Time Information

You can retrieve the file time information using the WinFileTime struct.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    "github.com/miroslav-matejovsky/winfileinfo"
)

func main() {
    file := `C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe`
    wf, err := winfileinfo.NewWinFile(file)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error creating WinFile: %v", err)
    }

    ft, err := wf.GetFileTime()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error getting file time: %v", err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Creation Time: %s\n", ft.CreationTime)
    fmt.Printf("Last Access Time: %s\n", ft.LastAccessTime)
    fmt.Printf("Last Write Time: %s\n", ft.LastWriteTime)
}

Testing

To run the tests, use the go test command:

go test ./...

Types

type WinFile

type WinFile struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

WinFile represents a file on the Windows filesystem.

func NewWinFile

func NewWinFile(path string) (*WinFile, error)

NewWinFile creates a new WinFile for the given path. It returns an error if the file does not exist or if there is an error checking the file.

func (*WinFile) GetFileInfo

func (wf *WinFile) GetFileInfo() (*WinFileInfo, error)

GetFileInfo retrieves the file version information for the file. It returns a WinFileInfo struct containing the file version information.

func (*WinFile) GetFileTime

func (wf *WinFile) GetFileTime() (*WinFileTime, error)

GetFileTime retrieves the file time information for the file. It returns a WinFileTime struct containing the file time information.

func (*WinFile) GetFixedFileInfo

func (wf *WinFile) GetFixedFileInfo() (*windows.VS_FIXEDFILEINFO, error)

GetFixedFileInfo retrieves the fixed file information for the file. It returns a windows.VS_FIXEDFILEINFO struct containing the fixed file information.

type WinFileInfo

type WinFileInfo struct {
	FileVersion    WinFileVersion
	ProductVersion WinFileVersion
}

type WinFileTime

type WinFileTime struct {
	CreationTime   time.Time
	LastAccessTime time.Time
	LastWriteTime  time.Time
}

type WinFileVersion

type WinFileVersion struct {
	Major uint16
	Minor uint16
	Patch uint16
	Build uint16
}

func (WinFileVersion) String

func (f WinFileVersion) String() string
