Logging and Input File Options


Log messages to
--output-file=logfile
		 Log all messages to logfile.  The messages are nor-
		 mally reported to standard error.

Append messages to
 --append-output=logfile
		 Append to logfile.  This is the same as -o, only it
		 appends to logfile instead of overwriting the old log
		 file.  If logfile does not exist, a new file is cre-
		 ated.

Print debug information
 --debug
		 Turn on debug output, meaning various information
		 important to the developers of Wget if it does not
		 work properly.  Your system administrator may have
		 chosen to compile Wget without debug support, in which
		 case -d will not work.  Please note that compiling
		 with debug support is always safe---Wget compiled with
		 the debug support will not print any debug info unless
		 requested with -d.

Turn off output
 --quiet
		 Turn off Wget's output.

 -v

Turn on verbose output
 --verbose
		 Turn on verbose output, with all the available data.
		 The default output is verbose.

 --non-verbose
		 Non-verbose output---turn off verbose without being
		 completely quiet (use -q for that), which means that
		 error messages and basic information still get
		 printed.

 Download URL's from
  --input-file=file
		 Read URLs from file, in which case no URLs need to be
		 on the command line.  If there are URLs both on the
		 command line and in an input file, those on the com-
		 mand lines will be the first ones to be retrieved.
		 The file need not be an HTML document (but no harm if
		 it is)---it is enough if the URLs are just listed
		 sequentially.

		 However, if you specify --force-html, the document
		 will be regarded as html.  In that case you may have
		 problems with relative links, which you can solve
		 either by adding `' to the documents
		 or by specifying --base=url on the command line.

Treat input file as HTML
 --force-html
		 When input is read from a file, force it to be treated
		 as an HTML file.  This enables you to retrieve rela-
		 tive links from existing HTML files on your local
		 disk, by adding `' to HTML, or using
		 the --base command-line option.

 Prepend URL links with:
 --base=URL
	   When used in conjunction with -F, prepends URL to rel-
		 ative links in the file specified by -i.
