Quick start
===========
1. Generate a QR code to link this signal-cli to the other user device like a
phone or tablet with a Signal app (this step requires qrencode(1), which is
an additional utility provided by the graphics/libqrencode port):
signal-cli link -n DEVICENAME | xargs -n 1 qrencode -t ANSI256
2. Scan the generated QR code with an app.
3. Send a test message to yourself:
signal-cli -u NUMBER send -m "This is a test" NUMBER
See the signal-cli wiki for more details:

Running a signal-cli daemon (using D-Bus user bus)
==================================================
The DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable should be present for
signal-cli to function properly when run as a daemon (`signal-cli daemon`).
The easiest way is to run the graphical session with dbus-run-session(1), e.g.:
dbus-run-session -- startx
signal_cli service (using D-Bus system bus)
===========================================
There is an rc(8) script available for signal-cli if it's desired to use
signal-cli in a daemon mode with the D-Bus system bus.
First, configure the service in rc.conf(5):
sysrc signal_cli_enable="YES"
sysrc signal_cli_phone_number="+48123456789"
Before starting the service, it is needed to either register a new Signal
account or to link this machine with an existing account. It is possible to
create a linking URL this way:
service signal_cli runcli link -n DEVICENAME
