Based upon the mdtest tool previously part of whatsmeow.

mdtest was deleted from the whatsmeow project in commit 9bd3fa0cc1c1a56c4e1ea324883b876c2c008c84

This is a tool which connects to whatsapp using whatsmeow, and allows you to send most protocol messages from an interactive shell.

more commands:

• a help command
• a jsonadd command, which creates groups based on the specification in a json file.
• a addgroup command, which creates a group specified on the cmdline.
• jsonadd and addgroup also take care of inviting JIDS which fail the automatic add.
• checkuser prints some more info for each jid checked.
• subscribepresence is a bit more verbose.
• corrected some typo's

other features:

• all incoming images and videos are saved
• the filename for images and video's contain the current time.

1. Clone the repository.
2. Run go build inside this directory.
3. Run ./whatsappshell to start the program. Optionally, use rlwrap ./whatsappshell to get a nicer prompt. Add -debug if you want to see the raw data being sent/received.
4. On the first run, scan the QR code. On future runs, the program will remember you (unless whatsappshell.db is deleted).

New messages will be automatically logged. To send a message, use send <jid> <message>
