buildtorrent: A torrent file creation program.

OPTIONS

-aannounce,--announce=url: Announce URL (required).
-ffilelist,--filelist=filelist: A text file (or - for standard input) containing a list of files to add to the output torrent file, together with the path to use inside the torrent. One file is given per line, use / as path separator for the torrent path, use | to separate the filesystem path from the torrent path. Backslash \ can be used to escape newlines and | characters inside names. For example:

/data/files/linux.iso|bin/linux.iso
/data/files/linux.txt|doc/linux.txt

Using this option requires that the --name option be used.

-nname,--name=name: Specify the name for the torrent. Usage of this option is required when the --filelist option is used, in which case it specifies the name of the torrent directory. Usage without a file list overrides the name of the directory or file given on the command line.

a,b1|b2,c
