Local Site Check

Checks links on your site locally, looking for files on the local file system.
Command line: linklint @local1.in /#
Parameters:

@local1.in read more command line parameters from this file.

/# only check top level files (don't check links in files in subdirectories).

Inputs & Outputs:

local1.in The input file which contains the rest of the command line parameters.

log.txt What gets printed to the screen when Linklint is running.

index.html Index of output files in the -doc directory.

HTTP Site Check

Checks links on your site via the HTTP protocol like a browser.
Command line: linklint @remote1.in
Parameters:

@remote1.in read more command line parameters from this file.

Inputs & outputs:

remote1.in The input file which contains the rest of the command line parameters.

log.txt What gets printed to the screen when Linklint is running.

index.html Index of output files in the -doc directory.

Remote URL Check

Checks existence (and modification) of remote http links. Here we demonstrate how to do a check of remote URLs after a site check has been completed.
Command line: linklint @@ -doc www/examples/remote -db9
Parameters:

@@ use the remoteX.txt file from the -doc directory to get list of remote URLs.

-doc use the same -doc as in previous example.

-db9 generate random HTTP errors when checking.
(makes the output more interesting and prevents repeatedly hitting my remote links.)

urllog.txt What gets printed to the screen as Linklint is running.
