NAME

chklinks - A non-threaded perl link checker

SYNOPSIS

chklinks [options] URL

DESCRIPTION

chklinks is a perl link checker. It helps finding broken links on your website.

chklinks differs from linkchecker in that chklinks is non- threaded. It does not raises many simultaneously connections for its job. It won't run out of the resources and crash your system in a moment. This is certainly more desirable for most webmasters and users.

OPTIONS

-1,--onelevel

Check the links on this page and stops.

-r,--recursive

Recursively check through this website. This is the default.

-b,--below

Only check the links below this directory. This is the 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). This is the 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.
