💖 webhttrack — the manual, but make it slay 💖

okay bestie, so this is the webhttrack(1) page, straight out of the General Commands Manual section. it's short, it's sweet, and it's literally the cozy little GUI-ish doorway into the whole httrack universe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

webhttrack — offline browser : copy websites to a local directory 🌐➡️📁

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

webhttrack [ keyword value [ keyword value .. ] ]

yep that's it. you just feed it keyword/value pairs and it vibes. no flags with dashes, no chaos, just pairs. iconic behavior honestly 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so webhttrack is a script frontend to httrack(1) and htsserver(1), which are, collectively, a website copier. meaning: it's the friendly face, and the real muscle is being flexed elsewhere. main character energy via delegation 🎀

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

  • webhttrack lang 1 — this one will launch the webhttrack server frontend, and the default system browser, with "lang" set to "english" (language #1). one line, whole vibe, browser pops open, we're so back. 🔥

✨ FILES ✨

  • /etc/httrack.conf — the system wide configuration file. the big boss config. the one that speaks for everybody. 👑

✨ ENVIRONMENT ✨

  • HOME — this one gets used if you defined the line path ~/websites/# in /etc/httrack.conf. so no config line, no HOME action, that's the deal bestie. 🏠

✨ DIAGNOSTICS ✨

when things go sideways (or even just slightly diagonal), errors and warnings get reported to hts-log.txt, which lives in the destination directory. so if something's acting up, that's where the receipts are. 😭📄

✨ BUGS ✨

okay so if you found a bug, please report it to <bugs@httrack.com>. and be a good citizen about it:

  • include a complete, self-contained example that will allow the bug to be reproduced 🙏
  • say which version of (web)httrack you are using
  • and do not forget to detail the options used, your OS version, and any other information you deem necessary

the more detail, the faster the fix. fr fr. 💀
