w3cls

Check a web page for dead links using the W3C Link Checker. http://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=$1&summary=$2[|s|ummary]&hide_redirects=$3[|hr|edirects]&hide_type=$4[|ht|ype=all]&no_accept_language=$5[|na|language]&recursive=$6[|r|ecursive]&depth=$7[|d|epth]&cookie=$8[|sc|ookie]&check=Check 
The w3cls command provides access to the web interface for the W3C.org Link Checker.  Links are validated and dead links on a web page or redirects are reported.  By default the Link Checker will hide all redirects.
