NAME

       btcheck - Bittorrent downloaded data checker

SYNOPSIS

       btcheck [ -h ] [ -V ] [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -n ] [ -z ] [ -i ] [ -l ] file.torrent

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       Here is some examples.

   DEFAULT USAGE (CHECKING MODE)
           btcheck foo.torrent

   LIST FILES DECLARED
           btcheck -l bar.torrent

NOTE

       This program tries to check data in the  directory  declared  in  torrent  file.  If  this
       directory doesn't exist, check is done in the current directory.
