transmission-create: Create a torrent with a comment.
$ transmission-create -o ${path-to-example-torrent} --tracker ${tracker_url1} -c ${comment} ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the "transmission-create" tool, which is used to create torrent files for the Transmission BitTorrent client.

Here's the breakdown of each part of the command:

  1. "transmission-create": This is the command itself that you execute to run the "transmission-create" tool.

  2. "-o ${path-to-example-torrent}": This option specifies the output file path for the generated torrent file. You need to replace "${path-to-example-torrent}" with the desired file path.

  3. "--tracker ${tracker_url1}": This option allows you to specify the tracker URL for the torrent file. The "${tracker_url1}" placeholder should be replaced with the actual tracker URL. You can include multiple "--tracker" options to specify multiple trackers if needed.

  4. "-c ${comment}": This option is used to add a comment to the torrent file. The "${comment}" placeholder should be replaced with your desired comment.

  5. "${filename_or_directory}": This is the last part of the command and refers to the file or directory you want to create a torrent for. You need to replace "${filename_or_directory}" with the path to the file or directory you want to turn into a torrent.

To summarize, this command creates a torrent file using the "transmission-create" tool, specifying the output file path, tracker URL(s), comment, and the file or directory that should be turned into a torrent.
