🫥 Identmoji: Unique Server Identifier Generator

Identmoji is a tool that generates a unique identifier for your server using emojis and a code derived from system-specific data. It can output the identifier in text or JSON format and save it to a configuration file for future reference.

Note

This project was created as a learning tool to explore the architecture of command-line applications written in C and to deepen understanding of the language itself. It is not intended for serious or critical use. The generated identifiers, while fun and unique, should be considered as a playful addition to your workflow or an aesthetic enhancement rather than a reliable method for important identification purposes, especially in production environments.

We encourage you to enjoy using this project for entertainment, but it is not recommended for any serious or sensitive tasks.

Features

• Generates a unique server identifier consisting of:
  • A single emoji or a set of four emojis.
  • A five-character uppercase code.
• Options to output in text or JSON format.
• Ability to save the identifier to a file.
• Checks for existing configuration files.

Command-Line Options

The following flags can be used to modify the behavior of the program:

Flag	Description
-4	Use 4 emojis instead of 1 in the output.
--json	Output in JSON format.
--full	Output full details: single emoji (emojis), emoji set (emojis_set), and code (code).
-o [file]	Specify the output file to save the identifier.
--check	Check if the configuration file exists and display its content.
--help	Display help information about the available options.

Build Instructions

Install Dependencies

On Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev

On Fedora/RHEL/CentOS

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum install openssl-devel

On Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S base-devel openssl

Build the Application

To build the application, simply run:

gcc identmoji.c -o identmoji -lssl -lcrypto

This will compile the source code and generate the identmoji executable.

Usage

Default Usage

By default, identmoji will generate an identifier with a single emoji and a five-character code.

./identmoji

Example Output:

Server Identifier: 💻A1B2C

Using 4 Emojis

To generate an identifier with a set of four emojis, use the -4 flag:

./identmoji -4

Example Output:

Server Identifier: 💻🐧💡🚀A1B2C

Full Output (Text)

The --full flag provides a more detailed output with a single emoji, a set of four emojis, and the code:

./identmoji --full

Example Output:

Server Identifier: 💻
Server Identifier Set: 💻🐧💡🚀
Server Code: A1B2C

Full Output (JSON)

To get the full output in JSON format, use both the --json and --full flags:

./identmoji --json --full

Example Output:

{
  "emojis": "💻",
  "emojis_set": "💻🐧💡🚀",
  "code": "A1B2C"
}

Saving the Identifier to a File

You can save the generated identifier to a file using the -o or --output flag:

./identmoji --json --full -o /path/to/identifier.json

This will save the JSON-formatted identifier to the specified file.

Example Output:

Configuration saved to /path/to/identifier.json

Checking Existing Configuration

You can check if a configuration file exists and display its contents using the --check flag:

./identmoji --check

If the file exists, its contents will be displayed. If the file does not exist, you'll receive a message like:

No configuration found at /path/to/identifier.json

Also available with -o flag (but as an input file)

./identmoji --check -o /path/to/identifier.json
