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.
