transmission-daemon: Dump daemon settings in JSON format.
$ transmission-daemon --dump-settings > ${filename-json}
try on your machine

This command is used to run the transmission-daemon with the option --dump-settings, and then redirect the output to a JSON file specified by the variable ${filename-json}.

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

  • transmission-daemon: This invokes the transmission-daemon program, which is a command-line interface for the Transmission BitTorrent client. It allows you to manage and control the BitTorrent downloads remotely.

  • --dump-settings: This is an option or flag that tells transmission-daemon to print its current configuration settings in a machine-readable format.

  • >: This is a redirection operator in the command line. It redirects the standard output of the transmission-daemon command to a file.

  • ${filename-json}: This is a placeholder for the name of the JSON file where the output will be stored. The actual name of the file can be specified based on your preference. It should end with the .json extension.

When you run this command, transmission-daemon will execute and print its configuration settings in JSON format to the specified file. This can be useful for exporting or backing up the settings, or for further analysis or manipulation of the data in the JSON file.

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.
