Logging and Input File Options

`-o logfile'
`--output-file=logfile'
Log all messages to logfile. The messages are normally reported to standard error.
`-a logfile'
`--append-output=logfile'
Append to logfile. This is the same as `-o', only it appends to logfile instead of overwriting the old log file. If logfile does not exist, a new file is created.
`-d'
`--debug'
Turn on debug output, meaning various information important to the developers of Wget if it does not work properly. Your system administrator may have chosen to compile Wget without debug support, in which case `-d' will not work. Please note that compiling with debug support is always safe--Wget compiled with the debug support will not print any debug info unless requested with `-d'. See section Reporting Bugs, for more information on how to use `-d' for sending bug reports.
`-q'
`--quiet'
Turn off Wget's output.
`-v'
`--verbose'
Turn on verbose output, with all the available data. The default output is verbose.
`-nv'
`--non-verbose'
Non-verbose output--turn off verbose without being completely quiet (use `-q' for that), which means that error messages and basic information still get printed.
`-i file'
`--input-file=file'
Read URLs from file, in which case no URLs need to be on the command line. If there are URLs both on the command line and in an input file, those on the command lines will be the first ones to be retrieved. The file need not be an HTML document (but no harm if it is)---it is enough if the URLs are just listed sequentially. However, if you specify `--force-html', the document will be regarded as `html'. In that case you may have problems with relative links, which you can solve either by adding <base href="url"> to the documents or by specifying `--base=url' on the command line.
`-F'
`--force-html'
When input is read from a file, force it to be treated as an HTML file. This enables you to retrieve relative links from existing HTML files on your local disk, by adding <base href="url"> to HTML, or using the `--base' command-line option.
`-B URL'
`--base=URL'
When used in conjunction with `-F', prepends URL to relative links in the file specified by `-i'.
