Client menu	Client receives a message

Whatsapp is a pure C messaging application with the scope to guarantee multiuser and multilanguage support. It's based in ncurses standard library and uses TCP connections.

The idea was born after the request of a simple school assignment --there wasn't mention of a server-client application, neither of a graphic user interface-- , which, day by day, I slowly reimagined, redesigned and finally realized. The name of the project has always been "Whatsapp" since the small initial program, so I ended up to mantain this one.

I started developing this software in October 2016, and released it to the public domain in February 2017.

The key points of this software are:

• multi connections handling
• both server and client GUI
• possibility of dynamically change user
• possibility of dynamically add/remove user (client must reconnect)
• possibility of dynamically change language

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/UrbiJr/Whatsapp.git
$ cd Whatsapp/

First of all, download ncurses header files:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev

SERVER:

execute command $ make

execute command $ ./Whatsapp [PORT] where PORT is your address port you want to use

CLIENT:

execute command $ make

execute command $ ./Whatsapp [SERVADDR] [PORT] where SERVADDR is the server address and PORT is its port

• To restore the folders and delete object files: $ make clean
• Contacts are stored in respective indexbook.txt files (root folder).

Any contribute and improvement is well accepted. Be free to improve the code, but please respect the style and the identation. Current settings:

• indent mode: tabs
• indent size: 4

About the documentation of the code with Doxygen, just a few directives:

• each new function must be documented with at least the \brief, \param and \return tags;
• any further documentation of undocumented variables/structs is well accepted;
• it is suggested to use the Doxygen GUI frontend (Doxywizard) for a fastest generation of the documentation.

For any question about Doxygen, and how to generate the documentation, please refer to www.doxygen.org
N.B. A copy of the current documentation is provided with this repository.
