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 be-
	     tween   using   the   cli,   daemon,  gtk,  and  qt  clients.   See
	     https://github.com/transmission/transmission/blob/main/docs/Config-
	     uration-Files.md for more information.

     -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  deprecated  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 fu-
	     ture seeding and resume operations.
