<br>
I'm trying to create a torrent file via CLI, but I'm stuck after creating the
file. I want to verify that it created the file correctly, but I don't want to
verify by uploading the file to my public server, use another torrent client,
etc. Is there a way I can read the .torrent file via CLI? I tried using
"less" and "nano", but it told me it's a binary file so
it's all gobbly goop.<br>
<br>
I used transmission-create. Thanks for any help.<br>

I posted this same question on Fedora's Forum:<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>Thanks for the suggestion, Jeff. I tried using _string_, but I couldn't totally figure it out. I thought about it some more and lo and behold there's a _transmission-show_ command that does exactly what I'm looking for.<br clear="all">
