SYNOPSIS
     transmission-qt -h

DESCRIPTION
     transmission-qt is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.

     BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo
     file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a central tracker to
     distribute file data amongst a group of peers. For more information on
     the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/

OPTIONS

     -g --config-dir directory
             Where to look for configuration files. This can be used to swap
             between using the cli, daemon, gtk, and qt clients.  See
             https://github.com/transmission/transmission/blob/main/docs/Configuration-

     added to the running instance.
