NAME
       btmakemetafile - program to generate torrent info files for bittorrent


SYNOPSIS
       btmakemetafile file tracker_announce_address [ option ... ]


DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the btmakemetafile command.  This manual page was written for the
       Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       btmakemetafile is a program that generates the torrent info files which  are  distributed  to  bittorrent
       clients  (usually  via  the  WWW) in order to inform them where the designated tracker for the torrent is
       located, and to allow them to verify the file's contents.

       btmakemetafile takes two arguments.  Both are required.  The first is the file that the torrent info file
       will    be   generated   for.    The   second   is   the   "announce"   address   of   a   tracker   (ex.
       http://127.0.0.1:6969/announce).


OPTIONS
       --piece_size_pow2 arg
              which power of 2 to set the piece size to (default: 18)
