webtorrent: Display information for a magnet URI or `.torrent` file.
$ webtorrent info ${filename_or_magnet}
try on your machine

The command "webtorrent info ${filename_or_magnet}" is used to get information about a torrent file or a magnet link using the WebTorrent command-line tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command parts:

  • "webtorrent" is the name of the command-line tool.
  • "info" is the command being executed, which retrieves information about a torrent.
  • ${filename_or_magnet} is a placeholder for the filename or magnet link of the torrent you want to get information about. It should be replaced with the actual filename or magnet link of the torrent you want to analyze.

When you run this command, the WebTorrent tool will gather and display information about the torrent file or magnet link, such as the number of files, file sizes, trackers, and peers connected to the specified torrent.

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.
