DESCRIPTION
       The transmission-cli program is a lightweight, command-line  BitTorrent
       client with scripting capabilities.

       The options are as follows:

       -b --blocklist
	       Enable  peer  blocklists. Transmission understands the bluetack
	       blocklist file format.  New blocklists can be added by  copying
	       them into the config-dir's "blocklists" subdirectory.

       -B --no-blocklist
	       Disable blocklists.

       -d --downlimit number
	       Set the maximum download	speed in KB/s

       -D --no-downlimit
	       Don't limit the download	speed

       -er --encryption-required
	       Encrypt all peer	connections.

       -ep --encryption-preferred
	       Prefer encrypted	peer connections.

       -et --encryption-tolerated
	       Prefer unencrypted peer connections.

       -f --finish script
	       Set a script to run when	the torrent finishes

       -g --config-dir directory
	       Where to	look for configuration files. This can be used to swap
	       between	using  the  cli,  daemon,  gtk,	 and  qt clients.  See
	       https://github.com/transmission/transmis-
	       sion/blob/main/docs/Configuration-Files.md  for	more  informa-
	       tion.

       -h --help
	       Prints a	short usage summary.

       -m --portmap
	       Enable portmapping via NAT-PMP or UPnP

       -M --no-portmap
	       Disable portmapping

       -p --port port
	       Set the port to listen for incoming peers. (Default: 51413)

       --tos tos
	       Use a ToS or DSCP name to set the peer socket service type for
	       local router-based traffic shaping. Valid values	are a decimal
	       value 0-255, or any of these DSCP strings:

	       "af11", "af12", "af13", "af21", "af22", "af23", "af31", "af32",
	       "af33",	"af41",	 "af42",  "af43",  "cs0", "cs1", "cs2",	"cs3",
	       "cs4", "cs5", "cs6", "cs7", "ef", "le" These ToS	keys are  dep-
	       recated	 and   will  be	 removed  in  the  future:  "default",
	       "lowcost", "lowdelay," "reliability", "throughput"

       -u --uplimit number
	       Set the maximum upload speed in KB/s

       -U --no-uplimit
	       Don't limit the upload speed

       -v --verify
	       Verify the torrent's downloaded data.

       -w --download-dir directory
	       Where to	save downloaded	data.

SIGNALS
       In addition to these options, sending transmission-cli a	SIGHUP	signal
       will contact the	tracker	for more peers.

ENVIRONMENT
       TRANSMISSION_HOME
		   Sets	the default config-dir.

       http_proxy  libcurl  uses  this	environment  variable  when performing
		   tracker announces.

FILES
       ~/.config/transmission
	       Directory where transmission-cli	keeps torrent information  for
	       future seeding and resume operations.
