NAME

wls - list links in an HTML file

SYNOPSIS

wls [ -l ] [ -t ] [ -r ] [ -h ] [ -b base ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

The wls command reads an HTML file (standard input by default) and prints out all links it finds. The output is written to stdout.


OPTIONS

The following options are supported:
-l
Produce a long listing. Instead of just the URI, wls prints three columns: the element name, the value of the REL attribute, and the target URI.
-t
Produce a tuple listing. wls prints four columns: the URI of the document itself, the element name, the value of the REL attribute, and the target URI.
-r
Print relative URLs as they are, without converting them to absolute URLs.
-b base
Use base as the initial base URL. If there is a <base> element in the document, it will override the -b option.
-h
Output as HTML. The output will be listed in the form of <a> elements.

OPERANDS

The following operand is supported:
file
The name or the URL of an HTML file. If absent, standard input is read instead.

DIAGNOSTICS

The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion.
>
An error occurred in the parsing of the HTML file. wls will try to correct the error and produce output anyway.
