# Global obfuscation flags

There are global obfuscations flags available, regardless of the method you choose to set up your obfuscation job. These flags offer you greater flexibility and control in the obfuscation process. Here are the flags you can use.

## Fingerprint your builds (`--fingerprint`)

This flag allows you to inject a unique identifier into the protected file. You can specify any string, helping you easily track and identify the obfuscated file.

## Obfuscation channel (`--chanel`)

This flag lets you specify the source that's generating the obfuscation task. You can input any string that helps in identifying the source when reviewing obfuscation logs. For instance, specifying values like `git`, `git-commit`, or `cli` can assist in differentiating the tasks based on their origin.

## Build hash (`--hash`)

Use this flag to indicate the hash of the build, commit, file, or any other relevant component. By doing so, you can easily track and pinpoint the exact source or version of obfuscation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cyphor.net/cli-tool/obfuscator/protecting-files/global-obfuscation-flags.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
