# pprint_torrent

Pretty-print the contents of torrent files!

pprint_torrent can be used to inspect the contents of torrent files. The metainfo dict is pretty-printed

with indentation of sub-levels. The maximum depth can be limited as well. To keep the output compact, the long

binary `pieces` hash sequence is hidden from the output automatically. `pieces root` hashes from v2 torrents are

hexlified (both in the `file tree` and in the `piece layers` dict).

## Usage

Commandline parameters:

    usage: pprint_torrent.py [-h] [-i INDENT] [-w WIDTH] [-d DEPTH] torrent_file

    Pretty-print a given torrent file's metainfo dict to stdout.

    positional arguments:

    torrent_file          Path to the torrent file

    options:

    -h, --help            show this help message and exit

    -i INDENT, --indent INDENT

                            Indentation width (default: 2)

    -w WIDTH, --width WIDTH

                            Maximum width of a line (default: 200)

    -d DEPTH, --depth DEPTH

                            Maximum depth to show (default: unlimited)

Example command:

    $ pprint_torrent.py kubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent -w 100

Output:

    { b'announce': b'https://torrent.ubuntu.com/announce',

      b'comment': b'Kubuntu CD cdimage.ubuntu.com',

      b'creation date': 1587648815,

                 b'piece length': 1048576,

                 b'pieces': '44900 bytes (hidden in this output)'}}
