webtorrent: Create a new torrent file for the specified file path.
$ webtorrent create ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "webtorrent create ${filename}" is used to generate a .torrent file for a given file or directory. The "${filename}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the file or directory that you want to create a .torrent file for.

WebTorrent is a BitTorrent client library that allows you to download and stream files using the BitTorrent protocol. The .torrent file is a small file that contains metadata about the file or directory you want to share or download. It includes information like the names of the files, their sizes, and the structure of the directory if applicable.

By running the "webtorrent create" command with the desired filename, WebTorrent will generate a .torrent file that can be used for sharing the file or directory with others.
