htcheck

HTCHECK(1)								FSF								HTCHECK(1)

NAME

       ht://Check - Web site checker for dead/external links 2.0.0

SYNOPSIS

       htcheck [-isvk] [-c configfile] [-D dbname]

DESCRIPTION

       ht://Check is more than a link checker.	It is a console application written for Linux systems in C++ and derived from ht://Dig.

       It  can	retrieve  information  through	HTTP/1.1  and store the information in a MySQL database, and it is particularly suitable for small
       Internet domains or Intranet.

       Its purpose is to help a webmaster manage one or more related sites: after a "crawl", ht://Check  gives	back  very  useful  summaries  and
       reports, including broken links, anchors not found, content-types and HTTP status codes summaries, etc.

       From  version  1.2.3,  ht://Check  also performs accessibility checks in accordance with the principles of the University of Toronto's Open
       Accessibility Checks (OAC) project, allowing users to discover site-wide barriers like images without proper alternatives, missing  titles,
       etc.

       ht://Check can also be used for Web structure analysis, as it stores information regarding links between HTML documents.

OPTIONS

       -v     Verbose mode (more 'v's increment verbosity)

       -s     Statistics (broken links, etc...) available

       -i     Initialize the database (drop a previous db)

       -k     Initialize the database (drop tables, keep the db)

       -c configfile
	      Configuration file

       -D dbname
	      Name of the database
