Overview

btcheck(1) is a tool to list torrent file content (torrent hash value, tracker announce, comments, files list with sizes) and to check hashes of downloaded data associated with this torrent file.

Options

-h: Show summary of options and exit.

-V: Show the current version number and exit.

-v: Verbose output (can be used many times to increase verbosity level).

-q: Quiet output, check success or failure is set in return code.

-n: Do not check data (useful with -i option and default with -l).

-z: Fill missing data with zeros when checking (this forces hash computation).

-i: Show the content of the given torrent file. This includes the files list with their size, the tracker announce, the torrent hash value.

-l: List filenames with size of the given torrent file and don't check data.

file.torrent: The torrent file to use.

Examples

Here is some examples.
