> Linklint is an Open Source Perl program that checks local and remote HTML links. Example:

> `linklint -http -host my.host.com -limit 1000 -doc dir /@`

> | `-http` check site via HTTP requests (HTTP site check) `-host my.host.com` check the my.host.com site `-limit 1000` bump up the file limit from 500 to 1000 `-doc doc` put all output files in the dir/ subdirectory `/@` check entire site

> But checking links is often more complicated than this. Even if you don't end up using Linklint, you will get a better understanding and appreciation of link checking if you read this documentation. Please read all of the documentation.
