(Viewer dev) Connecting to Second Life

[Wulfie Reanimator]

With the official SL viewer code as scattered as it is, I'm having trouble finding all the code related to connecting to SL (login, specifically).

Does anybody know off the top of their head where it is and if there's actual documentation for the API? I'm interested in trying a little project (not a full viewer or even in C++).

This help?
I'm not sure how out of date it is though.

Don't forget about Libremetaverse as used by radegast.

Thank you dearly, @Whirly Fizzle and @CoffeeDujour. My C++ never got to a point where I could comfortably cruise through so much source code. I was also actually going to be using C#, so that LibreMeteverse link is a life saver.

As far as the viewer code goes:

...indra\viewer_components\login\lllogin.cpp - has nice comments about the login process.

...indra\newview\llstartup.cpp - viewer launch to completed login.
