NAME
       htstat  -   returns statistics on the document and word databases, much
       like the -s option to htdig or htmerge.

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.

OPTIONS
       -a     Use alternate work files. Tells htstat to append .work to	 data-
	      base  files,  causing a second copy of the database to be built.
	      This allows the original files to be used by htsearch during the
	      run.

       -c configfile
	      Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

       -u     Give a list of URLs in the document database.

       -v     Verbose  mode.  This  increases  the  verbosity  of the program.
	      Using more than 2 is probably only  useful  for  debugging  pur-
	      poses. The default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice
	      progress report while digging.

FILES
       /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
	      The default configuration file.
