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.
