OPTIONS

22       --register
23              Create new non-verified account.
24
25       --verify <state> <link>
26              Verify  account  previously created by megatools reg --register.
27              You need to pass <state> that was returned  from  megatools  reg
28              --register  and a verification link from the email that was sent
29              to <email>.
30
31       --email <email>
32              Email serves as your new account username, that you’ll be  using
33              to sign in.
34
35              NOTES:  Beware  that ATM, email format is not validated by mega‐
36              tools.
37
38       --name <realname>
39              Your real (or fake) name.
40
41       --password <password>
42              Plaintext password. No strength checking is done, so  make  sure
43              you pick a strong password yourself.
44
45       --scripted
46              After registration, print the command that can be used to finish
47              the registration in a format suitable for scripting purposes.
48
49       --limit-speed <speed>
50              Set maximum allowed upload and download speed  in  KiB/s.   This
51              option  overrides  config file settings. 0 means no limit.  When
52              using ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit  is  applied  to
53              each transfer individually.
54
55       --proxy <proxy>
56              Use  proxy  server  to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides
57              config file settings.  More information can be found in  libcurl
58              documentation       at      ⟨https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CUR‐
59              LOPT_PROXY.html⟩.  Some acceptable values are:
60
61              • none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
62
63              • socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
64
65              • socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS
66                handled by the proxy
67
68       --netif <ifname|ip>
69              Network  interface or local IP address used for outgoing connec‐
70              tions.  You have to specify IP address bound to some of your lo‐
71              cal network interfaces, when specifying an IP address.
72
73       --ip-proto <proto>
74              Which  IP protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4, v6,
75              or any).  This is just an advisory option.  Megatools  will  re‐
76              solve  mega.nz domain, and then use an A or AAAA record based on
77              the stated preference.
78
79       --config <path>
80              Load configuration from a file

82       --ignore-config-file
83              Disable loading .megarc
84
85       --debug [<options>]
86              Enable debugging of various aspects of the megatools  operation.
87              You  may  enable multiple debugging options separated by commas.
88              (eg. --debug api,fs)
89
90              Available options are:
91
92              • http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug
93                connection/proxy issues)
94
95              • api: Dump Mega.nz API calls
96
97              • fs:  Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to actually
98                print something)
99
100              • cache: Dump cache contents
101
102              • tman: Dump transfer manager events
