-A acclist --accept acclist’-R rejlist --reject rejlist’Specify comma-separated lists of file name suffixes or patterns to
accept or reject (see Types of Files). Note that if
any of the wildcard characters, ‘*’, ‘?’, ‘[’ or
‘]’, appear in an element of acclist or rejlist,
it will be treated as a pattern, rather than a suffix.
In this case, you have to enclose the pattern into quotes to prevent
your shell from expanding it, like in ‘-A "*.mp3"’ or ‘-A '*.mp3'’.
--accept-regex urlregex’--reject-regex urlregex’Specify a regular expression to accept or reject the complete URL.
--regex-type regextype’Specify the regular expression type. Possible types are ‘posix’ or
‘pcre’. Note that to be able to use ‘pcre’ type, wget has to be
compiled with libpcre support.
-D domain-list’--domains=domain-list’Set domains to be followed. domain-list is a comma-separated list
of domains. Note that it does not turn on ‘-H’.
--exclude-domains domain-list’Specify the domains that are not to be followed (see Spanning Hosts).
--follow-ftp’Follow FTP links from HTML documents. Without this option, Wget will ignore all the FTP links.
--follow-tags=list’Wget has an internal table of HTML tag / attribute pairs that it
considers when looking for linked documents during a recursive
retrieval. If a user wants only a subset of those tags to be
considered, however, he or she should be specify such tags in a
comma-separated list with this option.
--ignore-tags=list’This is the opposite of the ‘--follow-tags’ option. To skip
certain HTML tags when recursively looking for documents to download,
specify them in a comma-separated list.
In the past, this option was the best bet for downloading a single page and its requisites, using a command-line like:
wget --ignore-tags=a,area -H -k -K -r http://site/document
However, the author of this option came across a page with tags like
<LINK REL="home" HREF="/"> and came to the realization that
specifying tags to ignore was not enough. One can’t just tell Wget to
ignore <LINK>, because then stylesheets will not be downloaded.
Now the best bet for downloading a single page and its requisites is the
dedicated ‘--page-requisites’ option.
--ignore-case’Ignore case when matching files and directories. This influences the
behavior of -R, -A, -I, and -X options, as well as globbing
implemented when downloading from FTP sites. For example, with this
option, ‘-A "*.txt"’ will match ‘file1.txt’, but also
‘file2.TXT’, ‘file3.TxT’, and so on.
The quotes in the example are to prevent the shell from expanding the
pattern.
-H’--span-hosts’Enable spanning across hosts when doing recursive retrieving (see Spanning Hosts).
-L’--relative’Follow relative links only. Useful for retrieving a specific home page without any distractions, not even those from the same hosts (see Relative Links).
-I list’--include-directories=list’Specify a comma-separated list of directories you wish to follow when
downloading (see Directory-Based Limits). Elements
of list may contain wildcards.
-X list’--exclude-directories=list’Specify a comma-separated list of directories you wish to exclude from
download (see Directory-Based Limits). Elements of
list may contain wildcards.
-np’--no-parent’Do not ever ascend to the parent directory when retrieving recursively. This is a useful option, since it guarantees that only the files below a certain hierarchy will be downloaded. See Directory-Based Limits, for more details.
