Passing Arguments to libtor

[Oct4Pie]

I have found a way of passing a bridge to the tor client; however, I still need more customization. I did that by setting a .torrc file in /data/user/0/com.<app>/cache/sifir_sdk/tor. I see that tor starts with

libtor: Starting tor with args: [

12-23 14:24:20.129 30063 30341 D sifir-rs-sdk: ]

However, I do not know the API for passing custom arguments. Knowing how to do that would be really helpful. Thanks for your attention.

Hey @Oct4Pie , that's actually a nice feature to have. So would the ability to pass a .torrc file to the module be good enough ? Or do you need to pass specific arguments to libtor ? Right now initialization arguments (TorServiceParam) are limited to what is needed to get it going, but can be augmented.

Let me know

Thanks for your response, @gabidi. I think both would be great. I think a .torrc file would be cleaner for setting multiple configurations. I only could get .torrc to work on android because iOS does not support environment variables.
