NAME

bin/report.pl - generate report based on link check results

SYNOPSIS

bin/report.pl [-h] [-l logname] [-s sortpath]

DESCRIPTION

This Perl program generates a human digestable summary report of the errors which arose in the specified link checking run, i.e. those requests for which the response was not HTTP 200 or equivalent.

The often cryptic response codes are translated into plain English using the libwww-perl package, and the report is broken into sections, each of which deals with the occurrences of a particular problem.

OPTIONS

-h

Use HTML formatting.

-l logname

The name of the file which contains the link checker session log.

-s sortpath

The location of a sort program to use instead of the default.

OUTPUT

List of link checker problems.

FILES

logs/lc - log file created by link checker run.

DEPENDENCIES

The Unix sort program is used, as is the libwww-perl-5 package. The latter is also a dependency for the link checker itself.
