[Question] How to get the username of the current user?

[cyteon]

I'm currently using signal-cli 0.13.14 (as a linked device) through jsonRpc (using stdin/out), and im unable to find any way to get the current user?

I have checked the accounts.json file, it only has UUID and number.
I have also tried with the listAccounts method, which only returns number.
In addition, i have also looked through the jsonRpc definition, and cant find something that directly indicates it will return userinfo or just username.

I would appreciate if someone could tell me the correct function that can help me get the username, or an alternative way to get the username (from data_message or sync_message is not an option, as i need to get the username when sending from the client.

When you have the number or UUID of the current user, you can use the listContacts command to get the username
signal-cli --output=json -a +NUMBER listContacts +NUMBER

Does not appear to work
