+"""Web tree checker.
+
+This utility is handy to check a subweb of the world-wide web for
+errors.  A subweb is specified by giving one or more ``root URLs''; a
+page belongs to the subweb if one of the root URLs is an initial
+prefix of it.
+
+File URL extension:
+
+In order to easy the checking of subwebs via the local file system,
+the interpretation of ``file:'' URLs is extended to mimic the behavior
+of your average HTTP daemon: if a directory pathname is given, the
+file index.html in that directory is returned if it exists, otherwise
+a directory listing is returned.  Now, you can point webchecker to the
+document tree in the local file system of your HTTP daemon, and have
+most of it checked.  In fact the default works this way if your local
+web tree is located at /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdpcs (the default for
+the NCSA HTTP daemon and probably others).
+
+Reports printed:
+
+When done, it reports links to pages outside the web (unless -q is
+specified), and pages with bad links within the subweb.  When
+interrupted, it print those same reports for the pages that it has
+checked already.
+
+In verbose mode, additional messages are printed during the
+information gathering phase.  By default, it prints a summary of its
+work status every 50 URLs (adjustable with the -r option), and it
+reports errors as they are encountered.  Use the -q option to disable
+this output.
+
+Checkpoint feature:
+
+Whether interrupted or not, it dumps its state (a Python pickle) to a
+checkpoint file and the -R option allows it to restart from the
+checkpoint (assuming that the pages on the subweb that were already
+processed haven't changed).  Even when it has run till completion, -R
+can still be useful -- it will print the reports again, and -Rq prints
+the errors only.  In this case, the checkpoint file is not written
+again.  The checkpoint file can be set with the -d option.
+
+The checkpoint file is written as a Python pickle.  Remember that
+Python's pickle module is currently quite slow.  Give it the time it
+needs to load and save the checkpoint file.  When interrupted while
+writing the checkpoint file, the old checkpoint file is not
+overwritten, but all work done in the current run is lost.
+
+Miscellaneous:
+
+- Because the HTML parser is a bit slow, very large HTML files are
+  skipped.  The size limit can be set with the -m option.
+
+- Before fetching a page, it guesses its type based on its extension.
+If it is a known extension and the type is not text/http, the page is
+not fetched.  This is a huge optimization but occasionally it means
+links can be missed.  The mimetypes.py module (also in this directory)
+has a built-in table mapping most currently known suffixes, and in
+addition attempts to read the mime.types configuration files in the
+default locations of Netscape and the NCSA HTTP daemon.
+
+- It only follows links indicated by <A> tags.  It doesn't follow
+links in <FORM> or <IMG> or whatever other tags might contain
+hyperlinks.  It does honor the <BASE> tag.
+
+- It could be argued that it should also check external links for
+validity.  This is true, but is is more error-prone.  I think I will
+make this an option in the future.
+
+
+Usage: webchecker.py [option] ... [rooturl] ...
+
+Options:
+
+-R        -- restart from checkpoint file
+-d file   -- checkpoint filename (default %(DUMPFILE)s)
+-m bytes  -- skip HTML pages larger than this size (default %(MAXPAGE)d)
+-q        -- quiet operation (also suppresses external links report)
+-r number -- number of links processed per round (default %(ROUNDSIZE)d)
+-v        -- verbose operation; repeating -v will increase verbosity
+
+Arguments:
+
+rooturl   -- URL to start checking
+             (default %(DEFROOT)s)
