SETTINGS

   [checking]
       threads=NUMBER
              Generate no more than  the  given  number  of  threads.  Default
              number  of  threads  is  10. To disable threading specify a non-
              positive number.
              Command line option: --threads

       timeout=NUMBER
              Set the timeout for connection attempts in seconds. The  default
              timeout is 60 seconds.
              Command line option: --timeout

       anchors=[0|1]
              Check  HTTP  anchor references. Default is not to check anchors.
              This option enables logging of the warning url-anchor-not-found.
              Command line option: --anchors

       recursionlevel=NUMBER
              Check recursively all links up to given depth.  A negative depth
              will enable infinite recursion.  Default depth is infinite.
              Command line option: --recursion-level

       warningregex==REGEX
              Define a regular expression which prints a warning if it matches
              any  content  of  the  checked link.  This applies only to valid
              pages, so we can get their content.
              Use this to check for pages that contain some form of error, for
              example  "This  page  has  moved"  or "Oracle Application Server
              error".
              Command line option: --warning-regex

              environment variable NNTP_SERVER. If no host is given, only  the
              syntax of the link is checked.
              Command line option: --nntp-server

              expressions.
              Command line option: --ignore-url

       nofollow=REGEX (MULTILINE)
              Check but do not recurse into URLs matching  the  given  regular
              expressions.
              Command line option: --no-follow-url

       ignorewarnings=NAME[,NAME...]

              password), separated by whitespace.
              If the regular expression matches, the given user/password  pair
              is  used  for  authentication. The commandline options -u and -p
              match every link and therefore override the entries given  here.
              The   first   match  wins.  At  the  moment,  authentication  is
              used/needed for http[s] and ftp links.
