       buildtorrent generates an output .torrent file that can be used by torrent clients.

-aannounce,--announce=url
              Announce URL (required).

       -ffilelist,--filelist=filelist
              A text file (or - for standard input) containing a list of files to  add  to  the  output  torrent
              file, together with the path to use inside the torrent.  One file is given per line, use / as path
              separator  for  the  torrent  path,  use  | to separate the filesystem path from the torrent path.
              Backslash \ can be used to escape newlines and | characters inside names.  For example:

              /data/files/linux.iso|bin/linux.iso/data/files/linux.txt|doc/linux.txt

              Using this option requires that the --name option be used.

       -nname,--name=name
              Specify the name for the torrent.  Usage of this option is required when the --filelist option  is
              used,  in  which  case  it specifies the name of the torrent directory.  Usage without a file list
              overrides the name of the directory or file given on the command line.

       -Aannounces,--announcelist=announces
              Additional announce URL list.  Use , to separate outer level lists, and | to separate inner  level

              a,b1|b2,c-wwebseeds,--webseeds=webseeds
              Additional WebSeed URL list.  Use , to separate items; for example:

              a,b,c-llength,--piecelength=length
              Piece length in bytes (default 262144).

       -Llength,--piecesize=size
              Use 2^size as piece length (default 18) (overrides -l ).

       -ccomment,--comment=comment
              User comment (omitted by default).
