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.
