grink

Grink is a tool to find and check web links in text files (for example, Markdown source files). It “greps links”, if you will.

Installation

cargo install grink

Usage

Grink reads all the files you specify, extracts anything that looks like a URL, and checks if it returns an OK status, reporting the error otherwise.

grink book/*.md
[ERROR] (HTTP status client error (404 Not Found) for url (https://example.com/bogus)) https://example.com/bogus - referrer: book/chapter1.md
Links: 8 (7 OK, 1 errors, 0 warnings)
