Library for handling the protocol of Gadu-Gadu, an instant messenger once popular in Poland.
libgadu is library for handling Gadu-Gadu instant messenger protocol. For a long time it was an intergral part of ekg application but due to packaging issues and use in other appliactions it became a project on its own. Proprietary protocol was reverse engineered which may make libgadu less than 100% compatible with the original.
It's important to note that the use of unofficial clients may be forbidden by the terms and conditions of Gadu-Gadu.
The library is written in C and aims to be operating system and environment independent. It works in POSIX-compliant operating systems, also BeOS and Win32 although the latter is not supported because of an official Gadu-Gadu client for that platform. It's used in terminal applications as well as GTK+ and Qt ones.
The library is released on the terms of LGPL 2.1 license which can be found in COPYING file.
