+# Saved Wifi Passwords
+A cross platform C program which queries and writes all saved WiFi networks and their passwords in a text file.
+
+## Executing the Program:
+* Compile the program: `gcc gen-wifi.c`.
+* On windows, do `a.exe`.
+* On Linux, do `./a.out`.
+
+**Sample use case:**
+Let's say you want to share the your wifi password to your friend but you dont remember it clearly then you can use this script to find the saved password.
+
+**Contents of `wifi_password.txt`:**
+```txt
+<SSID 1>:<password>
+<SSID 2>:<password>
+.
+.
+.
+```
