# textsecure-cli

textsecure-cli is a commandline interface for [libtextsecure-java](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/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](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libtextsecure-java/pull/5). 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/
