That doesn't sound to me like a user executing transmission-daemon
from the command line, which is the design intent of /usr/bin.  It
sounds more like a web server that invokes this tool as a utility
program; likely out of /usr/lib or even some cgi-bin directory.
That's rather different, even if the user experience is that he
invokes it "directly" through a web GUI.

What man page?  None seems to be in the case directory.

It's unclear that I'm getting my questions across, and the case seems
to lack archived reference documentation, so I'll call it a day.  If
you (and the LSARC members) feel that this is the right way to
integrate this feature, then drive on.
