transmission-cli: Use a Bluetack-formatted peer blocklist.
$ transmission-cli --blocklist ${select} ${select1}
try on your machine

This command is using the transmission-cli tool to initiate the Transmission BitTorrent client and apply a blocklist.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • transmission-cli: This is the command to launch the Transmission command-line interface utility.
  • --blocklist: This flag is used to specify that a blocklist should be implemented.
  • ${select} and ${select1}: These are placeholders for variables that would be replaced with specific values. The actual values would be determined by the user or the system running the command.

The ${select} and ${select1} variables likely represent paths or filenames of blocklists that the user would like to apply. The actual values would need to be provided, such as blocklist1.txt or /path/to/blocklist2.txt, depending on what is intended.

By using this command with the appropriate values for ${select} and ${select1}, the Transmission-cli tool will start and apply the specified blocklist(s) to the BitTorrent client. This blocklist can help prevent connections with known malicious or undesirable peers.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
