The system.* Command Group

WIP: see list here Comprehensive list of rTorrent 0.9 commands

system.env=NAME (since 0.9.7)

Query the value of an environment variable, returns an empty string if NAME is not defined. Example:

session.path.set=(cat,(system.env,RTORRENT_HOME),"/.session")

system.files.advise_random.set=FALSE|true

When false (default), do not advise files and memory mapped chunks. The kernel uses the default which is most likely some form of sequential read-ahead.

When true, advice file and memory mapped chunks to use POSIX_FADV_RANDOM and MADV_RANDOM. This optimizes for random access reads.

Advise during full torrent hashing is controlled by system.files.advise_random.hashing.set.

system.files.advise_random.hashing.set=FALSE|true

When false (default), do not advise files and memory mapped chunks during full torrent hash checking. The kernel uses the default which is most likely some form of sequential read-ahead.

When true, advise file and memory mapped chunks to use POSIX_FADV_RANDOM and MADV_RANDOM during full torrent hash checking.

This does not affect files or chunks hashed during download.
