+These environment variables let you control the debug output of Transmission.
+ * {{{TR_DEBUG_FD}}}
+  * = If set to 1, It'll output debug messages to {{{stdout}}}
+  * = If set to 2, It'll output debug messages to {{{stderr}}}
+ * {{{TR_CURL_VERBOSE}}} = if set to nonzero, it'll spew libcurl messages to {{{stderr}}}
 
+Example use of {{{TR_DEBUG_FD}}}, in bash:
+{{{
+$ export TR_DEBUG_FD=2
+$ transmission 2>runlog
+}}}
+This will write all the flood of messages to a new file named "runlog". (Note: 2>runlog means pipe file descriptor 2 to the file "runlog". It could be any number, but I always use 2 for no reason in particular)
