| | | Checking -local or -remote links |
Links are divided into two categories: local (file) and remote (http) links. The former represent files
or folders on your hard disk, while the latter can only be accessed by establishing a connection to a remote machine.
Checking local links is usually much faster and does not require your machine to have networking capabilities.
You might want to ignore local links (say, because remote links are more likely to become invalid as time passes) or remote ones (say, because you do not want to use your modem).
Note that by default, neither local nor remote links shall be checked. You must specify -local,
-remote or both if you actually want to get anything done.
