   9 == Name
  10
  11 signal-cli - A commandline interface for the Signal messenger
  12

  16
  17 == Description
  18
  19 signal-cli is a commandline interface for libsignal-service-java.
  20 It supports registering, verifying, sending and receiving messages.
  21 For registering you need a phone number where you can receive SMS or incoming calls.
  22 signal-cli was primarily developed to be used on servers to notify admins of important events.
  23 For this use-case, it has a dbus and a JSON-RPC interface, that can be used to send messages from other programs.
  24
  25 For some functionality the Signal protocol requires that all messages have been received from the server.
  26 The `receive` command should be regularly executed.
  27 In daemon mode messages are continuously received.

 103 Check the developer tools for a redirect starting with signalcaptcha:// Everything after signalcaptcha:// is the captcha token.

 670 Verify the number using the code received via SMS or voice::
 671 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT verify CODE
 672
 673 Send a message to one or more recipients::
 674 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT send -m "This is a message" [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]] [-a [ATTACHMENT [ATTACHMENT ...]]]
 675
 676 Pipe the message content from another process::
 677 uname -a | signal-cli -a ACCOUNT send --message-from-stdin [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]]
 678
 679 Create a group::
 680 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT updateGroup -n "Group name" -m [MEMBER [MEMBER ...]]
 681
 682 Add member to a group::
 683 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT updateGroup -g GROUP_ID -m "NEW_MEMBER"
 684
 685 Accept a group invitation::
 686 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT updateGroup -g GROUP_ID
 687
 688 Leave a group::
 689 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT quitGroup -g GROUP_ID
 690
 691 Send a message to a group::
 692 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT send -m "This is a message" -g GROUP_ID
 693
 694 Trust new key, after having verified it::
 695 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT trust -v SAFETY_NUMBER NUMBER
 696
 697 Trust new key, without having verified it. Only use this if you don't care about security::
 698 signal-cli -a ACCOUNT trust -a NUMBER
