 # signal-cli
 
-signal-cli is a commandline interface
-for [libsignal-service-java](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libsignal-service-java). It supports registering,
-verifying, sending and receiving messages. To be able to link to an existing Signal-Android/signal-cli instance,
-signal-cli uses a [patched libsignal-service-java](https://github.com/AsamK/libsignal-service-java), because
-libsignal-service-java does not yet
-support [provisioning as a linked device](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libsignal-service-java/pull/21). For
-registering you need a phone number where you can receive SMS or incoming calls. signal-cli is primarily intended to be
-used on servers to notify admins of important events. For this use-case, it has a dbus
-interface ([man page](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/blob/master/man/signal-cli-dbus.5.adoc)), that can be used to
-send messages from any programming language that has dbus bindings. It also has a JSON-RPC based interface, see
-the [documentation](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/wiki/JSON-RPC-service) for more information.
