textsecure-cli is a commandline interface for libtextsecure-java. It supports registering, verifying, sending and receiving messages. However receiving messages currently doesn't work, because libtextsecure-java does not yet support registering for the websocket support. For registering you need a phone number where you can receive SMS. It is primarily intented to be used on servers to notify admins of important events.

Usage

usage: textsecure-cli [-h] -u USERNAME {register,verify,send,receive} ...

Register a number
```
  textsecure-cli -u USERNAME register
```
Verify the number using the code received via SMS
```
  textsecure-cli -u USERNAME verify CODE
```

Send a message to one or more recipients

  textsecure-cli -u USERNAME send -m "This is a message" [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]]

Pipe the message content from another process.

  uname -a | textsecure-cli -u USERNAME send [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]]

Storage

The password and cryptographic keys are created when registering and stored in the current users home directory.

    $HOME/.config/textsecure/data/
