lwp-rget - Retrieve WWW documents recursively

SYNOPSIS

        lwp-rget [--verbose] [--depth=N] [--limit=N] [--prefix=URL] <URL>
        lwp-rget --version

DESCRIPTION

       This program will retrieve a document and store it in a
       local file.  It will follow any links found in the
       document and store these documents as well, patching links
       so that they refer to these local copies.  This process
       continues until there are no more unvisited links or the
       process is stopped by the one or more of the limits which
       can be controlled by the command line arguments.

       This program is useful if you want to make a local copy of
       a collection of documents or want to do web reading off-
       line.

       All documents are stored as plain files in the current
       directory. The file names chosen are derived from the last
       component of URL paths.

       The options are:

       --depth=n
          Limit the recursive level. Embedded images are always
          loaded, even if they fall outside the --depth. This
          means that one can use --depth=0 in order to fetch a
          single document together with all inline graphics.

          The default depth is 5.

       --limit=n
          Limit the number of documents to get.  The default
          limit is 50.

       --prefix=url_prefix
          Limit the links to follow. Only URLs that start the
          prefix string are followed.

          The default prefix is set as the "directory" of the
          initial URL to follow.  For instance if we start lwp-
          rget with the URL http://www.sn.no/foo/bar.html, then
          prefix will be set to http://www.sn.no/foo/.

          Use --prefix='' if you don't want the fetching to be
          limited by any prefix.

       --sleep=n
          Sleep n seconds before retrieving each document. This

       --verbose
          Make more noise while running.

       --quiet
          Don't make any noise.

       --version
          Print program version number and quit.

       --help
          Print the usage message and quit.

       Before the program exits the name of the file, where the
       initial URL is stored, is printed on stdout.  All used
       filenames are also printed on stderr as they are loaded.
       This printing can be suppressed with the --quiet option.
