htdig(1)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, htstat — it returns statistics on the document and word databases, much like the -s option to htdig or htmerge. that's the whole vibe 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

htstat [-v][-a][-c configfile][-u]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Htdig retrieves HTML documents using the HTTP protocol and gathers information from these documents which can later be used to search these documents. this program can be referred to as the search robot 🤖✨ like yes it's literally the little bot doing the digging, no cap.

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -a — use alternate work files. this tells htstat to append .work to database files, which causes a second copy of the database to be built. the whole point? it lets the original files stay in use by htsearch while the run is happening. so iconic of it honestly 🫶
• -c _configfile_ — use the specified _configfile_ instead of the default. pick your own adventure bestie.
• -u — give a list of URLs in the document database. just the URLs. that's it. that's the tea ☕
• -v — verbose mode. this increases the verbosity of the program. using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging purposes. the default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress report while digging. so like one -v = cute lil progress bar energy, three -v = you are now a debug gremlin 💀

💖 FILES 💖

• /etc/htdig/htdig.conf — the default configuration file. the main character config, periodt 👑
