NAME¶

webhttrack - offline browser : copy websites to a local directory

SYNOPSIS¶

ENVIRONMENT¶

BROWSER

The browser to open, through xdg-open or sensible-browser. Without it, webhttrack tries a list of known browsers.

LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LANG

The first one set picks the language of the interface, until the interface saves its own choice in ~/.httrack.ini.

HOME

Projects are kept in ~/websites unless the interface has saved another folder.

Each mirror writes its errors and warnings to hts-log.txt in the project directory.
