* Add in-kernel copying support for Linux (sendfile64(2), copy_file_range(2)), FreeBSD 13 (copy_file_range(2)), MacOS (copyfile(2)), and Windows (CopyFileExA). * Fix macro name USE_COPY_FILE_RANGE. * Minor bugfixes for userspace fallback. * Fix linux sendfile64 bugs. * Remove some overzealous asserts. * Allow transmission-test-copy to take an optional argument for an external reference file. * Fix return value error of tr_sys_path_copy. * Use COPYFILE_ALL for Macs without COPYFILE_CLONE. * Add in-kernel file copying for several platforms. Numerous operating systems now have support for copying files directly in the kernel, which is generally more efficient than copying in a userspace read(2)/ write(2) loop. (This becomes particularly relevant for 4th gen PCI-E storage, which approaches the latency of DRAM.) For Linux I use sendfile64(2), and, for later kernels, copy_file_range(2). FreeBSD 13 will also support copy_file_range(2). MacOS has copyfile(2), and Windows has CopyFileExA. Operating systems lacking such a syscall continue to use the existing read(2)/write(2) loop. * Appease uncrustify. * Appease uncrustify. * copy-test: generate random content at run time. * copy-test: Stylistic changes and more check()s. * copy-test: files_are_identical should follow test idioms * tr_sys_path_copy: numerous tweaks as requested by review. * s/old file/source file; s/new file/destination file. * tr_sys_path_copy: handle win32 wide characters in paths. * Uncrustify. * test-copy: Use non-string create_file_with_contents. * tr_sys_path_copy: numerous fixes. Per review: generate test file content at runtime; tidy use of check(); fix style; re-measure file sizes in the copy; define a macro when the system does not provide it; use Unicode APIs on Windows; and fix documentation. * Updated as per comments. * Rebase kernel-copy changes onto 3.0 with gtest. * Undo irrelevant comment change. * Fix syntax error. * Use tr_malloc() instead of tr_valloc(). * Use EXPECT instead of TR_ASSERT in gtest. * Add error handling. * Acceptable coding style has changed again. Now it's camelCase. Also use nullptr instead of NULL, etc. * Fix east/west const. Co-authored-by: Mike Gelfand <mikedld@users.noreply.github.com> |

About
Transmission is a fast, easy, and free BitTorrent client. It comes in several flavors:
- A native Mac OS X GUI application
- GTK+ and Qt GUI applications for Linux, BSD, etc.
- A headless daemon for servers and routers
- A web UI for remote controlling any of the above
Visit https://transmissionbt.com/ for more information.
Command line interface notes
Transmission is fully supported in transmission-remote, the preferred cli client.
Three standalone tools to examine, create, and edit .torrent files exist: transmission-show, transmission-create, and transmission-edit, respectively.
Prior to development of transmission-remote, the standalone client transmission-cli was created. Limited to a single torrent at a time, transmission-cli is deprecated and exists primarily to support older hardware dependent upon it. In almost all instances, transmission-remote should be used instead.
Different distributions may choose to package any or all of these tools in one or more separate packages.
Building
Transmission has an Xcode project file (Transmission.xcodeproj) for building in Xcode.
For a more detailed description, and dependencies, visit: https://github.com/transmission/transmission/wiki
Building a Transmission release from the command line
$ tar xf transmission-2.92.tar.xz
$ cd transmission-2.92
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
Building Transmission from the nightly builds
Download a tarball from https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-linux/ and follow the steps from the previous section.
If you're new to building programs from source code, this is typically easier than building from Git.
Building Transmission from Git (first time)
$ git clone https://github.com/transmission/transmission Transmission
$ cd Transmission
$ git submodule update --init
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
Building Transmission from Git (updating)
$ cd Transmission/build
$ make clean
$ git pull --rebase --prune
$ git submodule update
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

Code Style
You would want to setup your editor to make use of the uncrustify.cfg file located in the root of this repository and the eslint/prettier rules in web/package.json.
If for some reason you are unwilling or unable to do so, there is a shell script which you could run either directly or via docker-compose:
$ ./code_style.sh
or
$ docker-compose build --pull
$ docker-compose run --rm code_style
