Where <type> is according to DBus specification:
-* <s> : String
-* <ay> : Byte Array
-* <aay> : Array of Byte Arrays
-* <as> : String Array
-* <b> : Boolean (0|1)
-* <x> : Signed 64 bit integer
+* <a> : Array of ... (comma-separated list)
+* (...) : Struct (cannot be sent via `dbus-send`)
+* <b> : Boolean (false|true) (boolean:)
+* <i> : Signed 32-bit (int) integer (int32:)
+* <o> : DBusPath object (objpath:)
+* <s> : String (string:)
+* <x> : Signed 64-bit (long) integer (int64:)
+* <y> : Unsigned 8-bit (byte) integer (byte:)
* <> : no return value
+The final parenthetical value (such as "boolean:") is the type indicator used by `dbus-send`.
+
Exceptions are the names of the Java Exceptions returned in the body field. They typically contain an additional message with details. All Exceptions begin with "org.asamk.Signal.Error." which is omitted here for better readability.
Phone numbers always have the format +<countrycode><regional number>
== Methods
+=== Control methods
+These methods are available if the daemon is started anonymously (without an explicit `-u USERNAME`).
+Requests are sent to `/org/asamk/Signal`; requests related to individual accounts are sent to
+`/org/asamk/Signal/_441234567890` where the + dialing code is replaced by an underscore (_).
+Only `version()` is activated in single-user mode; the rest are disabled.

+link(newDeviceName<s>) -> deviceLinkUri<s>::
+* newDeviceName : Name to give new device (defaults to "cli" if no name is given)
+* deviceLinkUri : URI of newly linked device
+
+Returns a URI of the form "tsdevice:/?uuid=...". This can be piped to a QR encoder to create a display that
+can be captured by a Signal smartphone client. For example:
+
+`dbus-send --session --dest=org.asamk.Signal --type=method_call --print-reply /org/asamk/Signal org.asamk.Signal.link string:"My secondary client"|tr '\n' '\0'|sed 's/.*string //g'|sed 's/\"//g'|qrencode -s10 -tANSI256`
