deluge-console is a command-line interface for interacting with the Deluge BitTorrent client. It allows users to connect to a Deluge daemon (deluged) and manage torrents, configure settings, view status information, and perform other administrative tasks.

It provides a way to control Deluge without a graphical user interface, making it useful for headless servers, automated scripts, and remote management.

Users can add torrents, start/stop downloads, set priorities, view tracker information, and adjust global settings like download/upload limits and plugin configurations. The console uses an interactive mode that enables execution of Deluge commands or a non-interactive mode where a single command is run and the console exits.

If no command is provided, the console starts in interactive mode, presenting a command prompt. From here, users can enter commands and interact with the Deluge daemon directly.

By providing a command as an argument to deluge-console, the command will be executed and console will terminate afterwards. This is useful in shell scripts.
