htmlrefs - list html url references

htmlrefs lists url references from the local closure of the input html files. If file is not specified then the top level default user file is read. The html parse is rudimentary; don't use htmlrefs to detect valid html files.

The top level references are determined in this order (the --index, --root and --user options influence the order):

$HOME/index.html

Pseudo index containing <LINK href=dir rel=type > references to top level directories. type may be one of:

document-root

The document root directory containing URL target documents. Exactly one document-root must be specified.

program-root

The program root directory containing CGI support programs and scripts. This type is optional. If specified then the program root directory should contain a pseudo index for its references.

data-root

The data root directory containing CGI support data. This type is optional. If specified then the data root directory should contain a pseudo index for its references.

dynamic

All files under dir are considered referenced.

host

Provides a default value for the --hosts option.

ignore

dir is a ksh(1) pattern of paths to ignore.

internal

If --external is on then dir is a ksh(1) pattern of internal paths.

secure

Files under this dir are accessed by https: only.

$HOME/wwwfiles/index.html

$HOME/public_html/index.html

-a, --all

List all references whether they exist or not.

-c, --copy=directory

Copy the selected references to directory which must already exist. If --external is also specified then lines between <!--INTERNAL--> ... <!--/INTERNAL--> lines are not copied. If --unreferenced is also specified then files and directories in directory that have not been copied are removed. Target file modification times are set to match source times so that future copies can be avoided.

-d, --dependents

List each selected local file followed by : and a list of all local files referring to the file.

-e, --external

Do not list references inside <!--INTERNAL--> ... <!--/INTERNAL--> lines. See mm2html(1) for an html generator that inserts these lines.

-F, --force

By default files are not copied if the source and target size and modification times match. --force forces all files to be copied.

-h, --hosts=pattern

Check only references matching the ksh(1) pattern http://pattern/.

-i, --index=name

name specifies the page named by directory references. The default value is index.html .

-k, --keep=pattern

pattern is used to match file base names that are always considered referenced. The default value is .htaccess.

-l, --limit=pattern

Limit --copy and --remove operations to path names matching pattern .

-m, --missing

List missing local file references.

-n, --exec

Enable file modification operations. --noexec lists the operations but does not do them. On by default; -n means --noexec.

-p, --perlwarn

Check HTML files for unintentional embedded perl(1) constructs: a left bracket followed by one of -+!$*#. Manually translating left bracket to &#0091; avoids unwanted perl interactions (why didn't they use tags like everyone else?) mm2html(1) and optget(3) do the translation by default. On by default; -p means --noperlwarn .

-X, --remove

Unreferenced files are removed when --unreferenced and --nocopy are specified.

-r, --root=directory

The local directory for --user references. The default value is ~ user.

-K, --skip=pattern

pattern is used to match file base names that are never considered referenced. The default value is 00-INDEX-00.

-s, --strict

By default unreferenced --index files and the containing directory are considered referenced; --strict considers unreferenced --index files unreferenced.

-S, --symlink

Instruct --copy to symlink(2) files that do not contain <!--INTERNAL--> ... <!--/INTERNAL--> or are not in /cgi-bin/.

-u, --user=name

~name translates to the --root directory. The default value is caller-uid .

-v, --verbose

List files as they are copied (see --copy.)

-w, --warn

Produce a warning diagnostic for missing files.

-x, --unreferenced

If --copy is also specified then remove files and directories in the --copy directory that have not been copied. Otherwise list unreferenced files in the --root directory. A directory that contains no referenced files but does contain an --index file is considered referenced (along with the --index file) unless --strict is enabled.

htmlrefs --hosts=www.research.att.com --missing

List missing references to the local host www.research.att.com.

htmlrefs -n -h www.research.att.com -c ~/external/wwwfiles -e -x

Copy the local hierarchy to ~/external/wwwfiles for external release, and remove unreferenced files in the copy.
