This page shows examples of all of the command line (and command file) inputs to Linklint.
There are three main modes of operation:

<dl>
<dt>
   <b><a href=#local>Local Site Checking</a></b>
</dt>
<dd>

Checks pages and links on your site locally, looking for files on the
local file system.  This is convenient for small sites that you build
"at home" which will later be uploaded to an HTTP server.  It can also
be used for very simple sites that have little CGI.  <p>

</dd>

<dt>
   <b><a href=#remote>HTTP Site Checking</a></b>
</dt>
<dd>

Checks pages and links on your site by requesting pages via HTTP,
just like a browser would.   This mode is less efficient than just
reading directly from the file system because Linklint must make
a socket connection for each page/file and your web server most
respond to each request.
<p>
</dd>

<dt>
   <b><a href=#url>Remote URL Checking</a></b>
</dt>
<dd>


The two site checking options only check pages from a single host
computer.  Remote URL checking can check all of the links on your site
that go to other sites or a list of specific URL's.


</dd>

</dl>

<font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">

There are two types of input files that can be specified on the
command line: <tt><b>@command_files</b></tt> which contain command line
options and <tt><b>@@http_files</b></tt> which are parsed to find http://
URLs.  Command files indicated with a single @ sign before the file
name.  Http files are indicated with two @ signs before the file name.
[This means that the actual file name of command files cannot start
with an @ sign.  Oh well.]

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint @command_file</b></tt></font><br>

Reads in command line arguments from <i>command_file.</i> Command
files can be nested.  Each command file is interpreted line by line.
Empty lines and lines beginning with <tt><b>#</b></tt> are ignored.  Lines
that start with <tt><b>-</b></tt><i>anything</i> can only contain command
line arguments.  You can have multiple arguments on one line, and
arguments can take repeated parameters in command files only.
Example:<br>

<font color="#006600"><pre># This is a sample command file
#
-host  www.linklint.org
-root  /www/
-doc   linkdoc
-index index.html index.cgi</pre></font>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint @STDIN &lt; command_file </b></tt></font><br>
A plain @ sign or @STDIN will cause Linklint to read STDIN and
treat it as a command file.   This is useful if you want to run
Linklint as a configurable CGI program.  If no STDIN is available
then Linklint will hang waiting for an end-of-file from STDIN.
You can also use this mode to "interactively" feed commands to
linklint.  On Unix, terminate your input with ^D.

<p>




If you only want to check the links on one or two pages then just use
the path to those pages (starting each path with "/") on the command
line instead of <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/@</b></tt></font>:

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint /first/page.html /second/page.html</b></tt></font>

<p>

If you have a long list of pages (on your site) that you want to
have link checked (not just the existence of each page, but all
of the links on each page) then put the path to each page in a command
file and send that command file (with a leading <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>@</b></tt></font> sign:
<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint @local_pages </b></tt></font>
<p>

<font color="#006600"><pre># local_pages
#
/first/page.html
/second/page.html
/third/page.html
# etc.</pre></font>

If the list of pages you want to check contains full URLs, it is very
easy to write a little Perl program to strip off the scheme and host:
<br>
<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>perl -ne "s{http://[^/]+}{} and print" full_links.in > rel_links.out</b></tt></font>

Files of Remote Links
</a>
</b></font>
</font></td></tr></table>
<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint @@http_file</b></tt></font><br>

Check the status of all http:// references that are found in
<i>http_file.</i> Very forgiving in looking for links.  If the file
looks like a <i>remoteX.txt</i> file generated by Linklint then failed
URLs will be cross referenced.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint -doc linkdoc @@</b></tt></font><br>

When you specify <tt><b>@@</b></tt> with no filename, Linklint will check all
the http links found in the file <i>linkdoc/remoteX.txt.</i>  You must
specify a <i>-doc</i> directory.  This is an easy way to recheck all
of the remote links on your site.

<p>

Whether you are doing a local site check or an HTTP site check, you
specify which directories (presumably containing HTML files) to check
with one or more <i>linksets</i>.  A linkset uses two wildcard
characters <tt><b>@</b></tt> and <tt><b>#</b></tt>.  Each linkset specifies one or more
directories much like the standard * and ? wildcard characters are
used to specify the characters in the names of files in one directory.

<p>

The <tt><b>@</b></tt> character matches any string of characters (this kind of acts
like "*"), and the <tt><b>#</b></tt> character (which is kind of like "?") matches
any string of characters except "/" .

The best way to understand how @ and # work is to look at a few
examples:

<br><br>

<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>

<tr><td align=right><font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">
the entire site
</td><td><font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/@</b></tt></font></td></tr>

the homepage only (default)
</td><td><font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/</b></tt></font></td></tr>

<tr><td align=right><font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">
files in the root directory only
</td><td><font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/#</b></tt></font></td></tr>

<tr><td align=right><font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">
. . . and one directory down
</td><td><font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/#/#</b></tt></font></td></tr>

<tr><td align=right><font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">
files in the <i>sub</i> directory only
</td><td><font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/sub/#</b></tt></font></td></tr>

<tr><td align=right><font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">
files in the <i>sub</i> directory and below
</td><td><font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/sub/@</b></tt></font></td></tr>

<tr><td align=right><font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">
specific files
</td><td><font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/file1 /file2 ...</b></tt></font></td></tr>

<tr><td align=right><font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">
specific subdirectories
</td><td><font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/sub1/@ /sub2/@ ...</b></tt></font></td></tr>

</table>

<p>

If you specify more than one linkset, files matching <i>any</i> of
the linksets will be checked.  HTML files that don't match any of the
linksets will be <i>skipped</i>. Linklint will see if they exist but
won't check any of their links.

<table bgcolor="#88aacc" width="85%" cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr><td>
<font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">

</a>
</b></font>
</font></td></tr></table>
<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-skip skipset</b></tt></font><br>

Skips HTML files that match <i>skipset</i>.  Linklint will make sure
these files exist but won't add any of their links to the list of
files to check.  Multiple <i>skipsets</i> are allowed, but each must
be preceded with <i>-skip</i> on the command line. Skipsets use the
same wildcard characters as linksets.


<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-ignore ignoreset</b></tt></font><br>

Ignores files matching <i>ignoreset</i>.  Linklint doesn't even check
to see if these files exist.  Multiple <i>ignoresets</i> are allowed,
but each must be preceded with <i>-ignore</i> on the command line.
Ignoresets use the same wildcard characters as linksets.


<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-limit n</b></tt></font><br>

Limits checking to <i>n</i> HTML files (default 500).  All HTML files
after the first <i>n</i> are skipped.

If you are developing HTML pages on a computer that does not have an
http server, or if you are developing a simple site that does not use
<b><a href="hints.html#redirect">Server Redirection</a></b> or extensive CGI, you should use local site checking.  

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint /@</b></tt></font><br>

Checks all HTML files in the current directory and below.  Assumes
that the current directory is the server root directory so links
starting with "/" default to this directory.  You must specify
<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/@</b></tt></font> to check the entire site. See <b><a href="#linkset">Which Files to Check</a></b> for details.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint -root dir /@</b></tt></font><br>

Checks all HTML files in <i>dir</i> and below.  This is useful
if you want to check several sites on the same machine or if you don't
want to run Linklint in your public HTML directory.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-host hostname</b></tt></font><br>

By default Linklint assumes all links on your site that start with
<i>http://</i> are remote links to other sites.  If you have absolute
links to your own site, give Linklint your hostname and links
starting with <i>http://hostname</i> will be treated as local files.
If you specify <i>-host hostname:port,</i> only http links to this
hostname and port will be treated as local files.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-case</b></tt></font><br> 

Makes sure that the filename (upper/lower) case used links inside of
html tags matches the case used by the file system.  This is for
Windows only and is very handy if you are porting a site to a Unix
host.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-orphan</b></tt></font><br>

Checks all directories that contain files used on the site for unused
(orphan) files.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-index file</b></tt></font><br> 

Uses <i>file</i> as the default index file instead of the default list
used by Linklint. You can specify more than one file but each one
must be preceded by <i>-index</i> on the command line.  If a
default index file is not found, Linklint uses a listing of the
entire directory. See the <b><a href="howitworks.html#default">Default File</a></b>
section for details.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-map /a=[/b]</b></tt></font><br>

Substitutes leading <i>/a</i> with <i>/b</i>.  For 
<b><a href="howitworks.html#imagemap">server-side image</a></b>
maps or to simulate <b><a href="hints.html#redirect">Server Redirection</a></b>.  

<p>
<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-no_warn_index</b></tt></font>

Turns of the "index file not found" warning.  Applies to local site
checking only.

<p>
<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-no_anchors</b></tt></font>

Tells Linklint to ignore named anchors.  This could ease memory
problems for people with large sites who are primarily interested in
missing pages and not missing named anchors.  This option works for
both HTTP and local site checks.

If you have a complicated site that uses lots of CGI or 
<b><a href="hints.html#redirect">Server Redirection</a></b>, you should use HTTP site checking.  Even though
an HTTP site check reads pages via your HTTP server, you will
get the best performance if you do your checking on a machine
that has a high speed connection to your server.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint -http -host www.site.com /@</b></tt></font><br>

The <i>-http</i> flag tells Linklint to check HTML files on the site
<i>www.site.com</i> via a remote http connection.  You must specify a
<i>-host</i> whenever you do an HTTP site check (otherwise Linklint
won't where to get your pages).  You can specify <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>/@</b></tt></font> to
check the entire site. See <b><a href="#linkset">Which Files to Check</a></b> for details.

This flag tells Linklint to perform an HTTP site check instead of a
local site check.  All files (except server side image maps) will be
read via the HTTP protocol from your web server.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-host  hostname:port</b></tt></font><br>
If you include <i>:port</i> at the end of your hostname, Linklint
uses this port for the HTTP site check.  

<p>
<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-password realm user:password</b></tt></font><br>

Uses <i>user</i> and <i>password</i> as authorization to enter
password protected <i>realm.</i> Realms are named areas of a site
that share a common set of usernames and passwords.  If passwords are
needed to check your site, Linklint will tell you which realms need
passwords in warning messages.  Enclose the realm in double quotes if
it contains spaces.  If no password is given for a specific realm,
Linklint will try using the password for the "<tt><b>DEFAULT</b></tt>"
realm if it was provided.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-timeout t</b></tt></font><br>

Times out after <i>t</i> seconds (default 15) when getting files via
http.  Once data is received, an additional <i>t</i> seconds is allowed.
The timeout is disabled on Windows machines since the Windows port of
Perl does not support the <i>alarm()</i> function.


<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-delay d</b></tt></font><br>

Delays <i>d</i> seconds between requests (default 0). If you want to
remote check in the background you can set delay to a large number,
and Linklint will spend most of its time sleeping.


<p>
<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-local linkset</b></tt></font><br>

Gets files that match <i>linkset</i> locally.  The default -local
linkset is <tt><b>@.map</b></tt> (which matches any link ending in
<b>.map</b>).  This allows Linklint to follow links through
server-side image maps.  The default is ignored if you specify your
own <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-local</b></tt></font> expressions.  You need to specify the
<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-root</b></tt></font> directory for this option to work propery.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-map /a=[/b]</b></tt></font><br>

Substitutes leading <i>/a</i> with <i>/b</i>.  For 
<b><a href="howitworks.html#imagemap">server-side image</a></b>
maps or to simulate <b><a href="hints.html#redirect">Server Redirection</a></b>.  

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-no_query_string</b></tt></font><br>

Up until version 2.3.4, Linklint did not use query strings while doing
HTTP site checks.  Query strings were removed before making HTTP
requests.  As of 2.3.4 query strings in links are used in the
requests.  Use the <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-no_query_string</b></tt></font> flag to get back
the "old" behavior.

<p>
<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-http_header "Name:value"</b></tt></font><br>

Adds the HTTP header "<i>Name: value</i>" to all HTTP requests
generated by Linklint.  You will need to use quotation marks to hide
spaces in the header line from the command line interpreter. Linklint
will automatically add a space after the first colon if there is not
one there already.  Multiple (unique) header lines are allowed.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-language zz</b></tt></font><br>

This option is only useful if you are checking a site that uses
content negotiation to present the same URL in different languages.

Creates an HTTP Request header of the form
<i>"Accept-Language:&nbsp;zz</i>" that is included as part of all HTTP
requests generated by Linklint.  Multiple <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-language</b></tt></font>
specifications are allowed.  This will result in a single
<i>Accept-Language:</i> header that lists all of the languages you
have specified in alphabetical order.  Some web sites can use this
information to return pages to you in a specific language.

<p>

If you need to get more complicated than this, use the more general
purpose <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-http_header</b></tt></font> to create your own header.  There
is a <b><a href="language.html">partial list of language
abbreviations</a></b> (taken from Debian) included as part of the
Linklint documentation.

A remote URL check is used to see if a remote URL exists (or has been
recently modified).  Links in the remote pages are <i>not</i> checked
nor does Linklint look for named anchors in remote URLs. 

<p>
<table bgcolor="#88aacc" width="85%" cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 border=0>

Which URLs to check
</a>
</b></font>
</font></td></tr></table>
<p>

Remote URL checking can be used to check all of the "remote" links on
your site (those that link to pages on other sites) or it can check a
list of URLs.  There are several ways to specify which remote URLs to
check:

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint http://somehost/file.html</b></tt></font><br>

Checks to see if <i>/file.html</i> exists on <i>somehost</i>.
Multiple URLs can be entered on the command line, in an <tt><b><a href=#command>@commandfile</a></b></tt>, or in an <tt><b><a href=#command>@@httpfile</a>.</b></tt> Every URL to be checked must
begin with <i>http://.</i>  This will disable site checking.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint @@httpfile</b></tt></font><br>

Checks all the remote http URLs found in <i>httpfile</i>.  Anything in
the file starting with <i>http://</i> is considered to be a URL. If
the file looks like a <i>remoteX.txt</i> file generated by Linklint
then all failed URLs will be cross referenced.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint @@ -doc linkdoc</b></tt></font><br>

Assuming you have already done a site check and used "<b>-doc
linkdoc</b>" to put all of your output files in the <i>linkdoc</i>
directory, Linklint will check all the remote links that were found on
your site and cross reference all failed URLs without doing a site
check.  You can use the <i>-netmod</i> or <i>-netset</i> flags to
enable the <b><a href="inputs.html#statuscache">status-cache</a></b>.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>linklint -net</b></tt></font> <btt>[site check options]</btt><br>

The <i>-net</i> flag tells Linklint to check all remote links after
doing either a <b>local</b> or <b>HTTP site check</b> site.  If you
are having memory problems, don't use the <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-net</b></tt></font> option,
instead use one of the <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>@@</b></tt></font> options above.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-timeout t</b></tt></font><br>

Times out after <i>t</i> seconds (default 15) when getting files via
http.  Once data is received, an additional <i>t</i> seconds is allowed.
The timeout is disabled on Windows machines since the Windows port of
Perl does not support the <i>alarm()</i> function.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-delay d</b></tt></font><br>

Delays <i>d</i> seconds between requests to the same host (default 0).
This is a friendly thing to do especially if you are checking many
links on the same host.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-redirect</b></tt></font><br>
Checks for &lt;meta&gt; redirects in the headers of remote  URLs that are
html files.  If a redirect is found it is followed.  This feature
is disabled if the status cache is used.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-proxy hostname[:port]</b></tt></font><br>

Sends all remote HTTP requests through the proxy server
<i>hostname</i> and the optional <i>port</i>.  This allows you to
check remote URLs or (new with version 2.3.1) your entire site from
within a firewall that has an http proxy server.  Some error messages
(relating to host errors) may not be available through a proxy server.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-concise_url</b></tt></font><br>

Turns off printing successful URLs to STDOUT during remote link
checking.

<p>
<table bgcolor="#88aacc" width="85%" cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr><td>
<font face="helvetica,sans serif,ariel">
<font size=3 color="#ffffff"><b>
<a name="statuscache">

</a>
</b></font>
</font></td></tr></table>
<p>

The Status Cache is a very powerful feature.  It allows you to keep
track of recent changes in all of the remote (off-site) pages you link
to.  You can then use the Linklint output files to quickly check
changed pages to see if they still meet your needs.

<p>

The flags below make use of the status cache file <i>linklint.url</i>
(kept in your HOME or LINKLINT directory).  This file keeps track of
the modification dates of all the remote URLs that you check.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-netmod</b></tt></font><br>

Operates just like <b>-net</b> but makes use of the status
cache.  Newly checked URLs will be entered in the cache.  Linklint
will tell you which (previously cached) URLs have been modified since
the last <b>-netset</b>.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-netset</b></tt></font><br>

Like <b>-netmod</b> but also resets the last modified status
in the cache for all URLs that checked ok.  If you always use
<b>-netset</b>, modified URLs will be reported just once.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-retry</b></tt></font><br>

Only checks URLs that have a host fail status in the cache.  Sometimes
a URL fails because its host is temporarily down.  This flag enables
you to recheck just those links.  An easy way to recheck all the
cached URLs with host failures is <tt><b>linklint @@ -retry</b></tt>.
use <tt><b>linklint @@linkdoc/remoteX.txt -retry</b></tt> if you want
failed URLs to be cross referenced.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-flush</b></tt></font><br>

Removes all URLs from the cache that are not currently being checked.
The <b>-retry</b> flag has no effect on which URLs are flushed.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-checksum</b></tt></font><br>

Ensures that every URL that has been modified is reported as such.  This flag
can make the remote checking take longer.  Many of the pages that require a
checksum are dynamically generated and will always be reported as modified.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-cache directory</b></tt></font><br>

Reads and writes the <i>linklint.url</i> cache file in this
directory.  The default directory is set by your LINKLINT or HOME
environment variables.

Sends all output to the <i>linkdoc</i> directory.  The output is
divided into separate <i>.txt</i> and <i>.html</i> files.  Complete
documentation is always produced regardless of the single file flags.

<p>

The file <i>index.txt</i> contains an index to all the other
files; <i>index.html</i> is an HTML version of the index.  The
index files for remote URL checking are <i>ur_lindex.txt</i> and
<i>url_index.html</i>.  

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-textonly</b></tt></font><br>

Prevents any HTML files from being created in the <i>-doc</i> directory.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-htmlonly</b></tt></font><br>

Erases redundant text files in the <i>-doc</i> directory after they
have been used to create the HTML output files.  The files
<i>remote.txt</i> and <i>remoteX.txt</i> are not erased since they
can be used by Linklint to recheck remote URLs.

<p>


<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-docbase base</b></tt></font><br>

Overrides the default <i>base</i> expression used for directing a
browser to the resources listed in the output HTML files.  The base
is prepended to local links in the output HTML files.  This only
affects the links in HTML output files, it has no effect on what is
displayed in these files.  Ordinarily this flag would only be used
during a local site check to set the base to <tt>http://host</tt>.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-output_frames</b></tt></font><br>

All HTML output data files are linked to from <i>index.html</i>.  If
you use this flag then the the data files will be opened up in a new
frame (window) which can be handy in some cases since it always leaves
the <i>index.html</i> file open in its own window.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-output_index filename</b></tt></font><br>

The output index files were previously named <i>linklint.txt</i>
and <i>linklint.html</i>.  These have now been changed to <i>index.txt</i>
and <i>index.html</i>.  You can use the <b>-output_index</b> option
to change this name back to <i>linklint</i> or to something else.

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-url_doc_prefix url/</b></tt></font><br>

By default, the output files associate with remote URL checking all
start with "url".  You can change this with the <i>-url_doc_prefix</i>
option.  If the url_doc_prefix contains a "/" character then the
appropriate directory will be created (as a subdirectory of the -doc
directory).

<p>

<font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-dont_output xxxx</b></tt></font><br>

Don't create output files that contain "xxxx".  Can be repeated.
Example: <font color="#cc0000"><tt><b>-dont_output "X$"</b></tt></font> will supress the output of
all cross reference files.
