  -h          Print this help message and exit
  -m number   Set maximum number of active torrents (default: 5)
  -s          Only start torrents
  -p          Only pause torrents

  Remaining arguments will be passed on to transmission-remote.

  Example usage:

  Make sure 10 torrents are active, starting and stopping torrents as
  necessary:
    trqueue -m 10

  Make sure at most 10 torrents are active, but do not start any.
    requeue -m 10 -p

  Provide username and password for transmission
    trqueue -- -n transmission-user:secret
