NAME

chklinks - A non-threaded perl link checker

SYNOPSIS

chklinks [options] URL

DESCRIPTION

chklinks is a non-threaded perl link checker that helps you find your broken links on your website. It is designed to be a non-threaded replacement of linkchecker. The linkchecker raises large amount of simultaneously connections for its checking, which may run out of your resources and hence crash your system in a moment. This is certainly not desirable for most webmasters and users.

OPTIONS

-1,--onelevel

Check the links on this page and stops. (default)

-r,--recursive

Recursively check through all the links on this host.

-b,--below

Only check the links below this directory. (default)

-p,--parent

Trace back to the parent directories.

-l,--local

Only check the links on this same host.

-s,--span

Check the links to other hosts (without recursion). (default)

-e,--exclude path

Exclude this path. Check for their existence but not check the links on them, just like they are on a foreign site. Multiple --exclude are OK.
