NAME¶
btmakemetafile - program to generate torrent info files for bittorrent
SYNOPSIS¶
btmakemetafile file tracker_announce_address [ option ... ]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
btmakemetafile command. This
manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page.
btmakemetafile is a program that generates the torrent info files which
are distributed to bittorrent clients (usually via the WWW) in order to inform
them where the designated tracker for the torrent is located, and to allow
them to verify the file's contents.
btmakemetafile takes two arguments. Both are required. The first is the
file that the torrent info file will be generated for. The second is the
"announce" address of a tracker (ex.
http://127.0.0.1:6969/announce).
OPTIONS¶
- --piece_size_pow2 arg
- which power of 2 to set the piece size to (default: 18)
