rsync - Dec 2008 - how to get details of rsync source code?

Hi Friends,

I am new to rsync. I learnt the rsync algorithm and functionalities. It
seems great. I want to dive into source code of rsync now. Could anyone
suggest how should I proceed to understand the code. Is there any
documentation about source code available? Basically I want to find out the
execution path of complete client and server program. currently I am not
able to separate client and server programs itself.

Thanks,
Jack

See the second part of:

The client and the server have different startup code (see start_client
and start_server), but after that it isn't possible to make a
separation.  The code for the sender can be run by either client or
server depending on which way the copy is going; likewise for the
receiver and generator code.  When the behavior does need to differ, the
code checks am_server.
