btgcli is a console bittorrent client. Ncurses is used for screen and input handling.
If started without any arguments, it will attempt to connect to the daemon (btgdaemon) and start a new session.
After the client connects to the daemon and initializes, it will present a prompt which can be used to enter commands. Type "help" at the prompt to list available commands.
