[stem/master] Argument to specify tor's path for tor-prompt - tor-commits

3 Oct 2015

commit 1c5384ee75be853e57bd620ad833ceb71de2c456
Author: Damian Johnson atagar@torproject.org

Argument to specify tor's path for tor-prompt
Adding a '--tor' argument to tor-prompt so users can specify tor's path when
    starting an instance. This should especially help when using this for testing
    tor changes.
