Hello all, I notice that each package in my $HOME/.julia/packages/<pkgname>/ folder has what looks like a 5-character hash code - for example, $HOME/.julia/packages/HTTP/aTjcj. Can anyone tell me how this hash is derived, or where it can be read from? Thanks!

Source for the 5-character hash in $HOME/.julia/packages/<pkgname>/

Thank you! That’s exactly what I needed to know.
