+ </dd>
+ <dd>
+ Htdig retrieves HTML documents using the HTTP protocol and
+ gathers information from these documents which can later be
+ used to search these documents. This program can be
+ referred to as the search robot.

+ -a
+ </dt>
+ <dd>
+ Use alternate work files. Tells htdig to append <em>
+ .work</em> to database files, causing a second copy of
+ the database to be built. This allows the original
+ files to be used by htsearch during the indexing run. When
+ used without the "-i" flag for an update dig, htdig will
+ use any existing .work files for the databases to update.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>
+ -c <em>configfile</em>

+ <dd>
+ Use the specified <em>configfile</em> file instead of the
+ default.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>

+ </dt>
+ <dd>
+ Restrict the dig to documents that are at most <em>
+ maxhops</em> links away from the starting document.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>
+ -i

+ Initial. Do not use any old databases. This is
+ accomplished by first erasing the databases.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>
+ -m <em>url_file</em>
+ </dt>
+ <dd>
+ Minimal. Index only the URLs listed in
+ <em>url_file</em> and no others.
+ A file name of "-" reads from STDIN.
+ See also the <em>start_url_file</em> argument.

+ Create an ASCII version of the document database. This
+ database is easy to parse with other programs so that
+ information can be extracted from it for purposes other
+ than searching. One could gather some interesting
+ statistics from this database.
+ <p>Each line in the file starts with the document id
+ followed by a list of
+ <strong>\t<em>fieldname</em>:<em>value</em></strong>.
+ The fields always appear in the order listed below:
+ </p>
+ <table border=0>
+ <tr> <th>fieldname</th><th>value</th></tr>
+ <tr> <td>u</td><td>URL</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>t</td><td>Title</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>a</td><td>State (0 = normal, 1 = not found, 2
+ = not indexed, 3 = obsolete)</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>m</td><td>Last modification time as reported
+ by the server</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>s</td><td>Size in bytes</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>H</td><td>Excerpt</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>h</td><td>Meta description</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>l</td><td>Time of last retrieval</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>L</td><td>Count of the links in the document
+ (outgoing links)</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>b</td><td>Count of the links to the document
+ (incoming links or backlinks)</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>c</td><td>HopCount of this document</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>g</td><td>Signature of the document used for
+ duplicate-detection</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>e</td><td>E-mail address to use for a
+ notification message from htnotify</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>n</td><td>Date to send out a notification
+ e-mail message</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>S</td><td>Subject for a notification e-mail
+ message</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>d</td><td>The text of links pointing to this
+ document. (e.g. &lt;a
+ href=&quot;docURL&quot;&gt;description&lt;/a&gt;)</td></tr>
+ <tr> <td>A</td><td>Anchors in the document (i.e. &lt;A
+ NAME=...)</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </dd>
+ <dt>
+ -u <em>username:password</em>
+ </dt>
+ <dd>
+ Tells htdig to send the supplied username and password
+ with each HTTP request. The credentials will be encoded
+ using the 'Basic' authentication scheme. There <strong>
+ HAS</strong> to be a colon (:) between the username and
+ password.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>
+ -v
+ </dt>
+ <dd>
+ Verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the
+ program. Using more than 2 is probably only useful for
+ debugging purposes. The default verbose mode (using
+ only one -v) gives a nice progress report while
+ digging. This progress report can be a bit
+ cryptic, so here is a brief explanation. A line
+ is shown for each URL, with 3 numbers before the
+ URL and some symbols after the URL. The first
+ number is the number of documents parsed so
+ far, the second is the DocID for this document,
+ and the third is the hop count of the document
+ (number of hops from one of the start_url
+ documents). After the URL, it shows a "*" for
+ a link in the document that it already visited,
+ a "+" for a new link it just queued, and a "-"
+ for a link it rejected for any of a number of
+ reasons. To find out what those reasons are,
+ you need to run htdig with at least 3 -v options,
+ i.e. -vvv. If there are no "*", "+" or "-" symbols
+ after the URL, it doesn't mean the document was
+ not parsed or was empty, but only that no links
+ to other documents were found within it. With
+ more verbose output, these symbols will get
+ interspersed in several lines of debugging output.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>
+ <em>start_url_file</em>
+ </dt>
+ <dd>
+ A file containing a list of URLs to start indexing
+ from, or "-" for STDIN. This will augment the default
+ <a href="attrs.html#start_url">start_url</a>
+ and override the file supplied to
+ [-m <em>url_file</em>].
