The command "transmission-show --magnet ${filename-torrent}" is used to display detailed information about a torrent file or a magnet link.
Here's how each part of the command works:
-
"transmission-show" is the name of the command-line utility that is being used. It is specifically used for displaying information about torrent files and magnet links.
-
"--magnet" is an option flag that tells the utility to treat the argument as a magnet link instead of a torrent file. Magnet links are a way to identify and download files through a decentralized network (like BitTorrent) without the need for a central server.
-
"${filename-torrent}" is a placeholder for the name of the torrent file. You need to replace it with the actual name of the file or provide the file path. If you are using a magnet link instead of a torrent file, you would replace "${filename-torrent}" with the magnet link.
When you run this command with a torrent file or a magnet link as an argument, the utility will display various details about the file, including its name, size, trackers, files within the torrent (if applicable), and other relevant information.
