Description

link

Link to an existing device, instead of registering a new number. This shows a "tsdevice:/…" URI. If you want to connect to another signal-cli instance, you can just use this URI. If you want to link to an Android/iOS device, create a QR code with the URI (e.g. with qrencode) and scan that in the Signal app.

-n NAME, --name NAME
Optionally specify a name to describe this new device. By default "cli" will be used.
