Links are rebuiltrelatively so that you can freely browse to the local site (works with any browser). You can mirror several sites together so that you can jump from one toanother. You can, also, update an existing mirror site, or resume an interrupted download. The robot is fully configurable, with an integrated help" />

<h2 align="center"><em>HTTrack Programming page - plugging functions<br >
releases 3.30 to 3.40 (not beyond)
</em></h2>

<br>

You can write external functions to be plugged in the httrack library very easily. 
We'll see there some examples.

<br><br>

The <tt>httrack</tt> commandline tool allows (since the 3.30 release) to plug external functions to various callbacks defined in httrack.<br>
See also: the <tt>httrack-library.h</tt> prototype file, and the <tt>callbacks-example.c</tt> given in the httrack archive.<br>

<br>
Example:
<tt>
httrack --wrapper check-html=callback:process_file ..
</tt>
<br>
With the callback.so (or callback.dll) module defined as below:

<pre>
int process_file(char* html, int len, char* url_adresse, char* url_fichier) {
  printf("now parsing %s%s..\n", url_adresse, url_fichier);
  strcpy(currentURLBeingParsed, url_adresse);
  strcat(currentURLBeingParsed, url_fichier);
  return 1;  /* success */
}
</pre>

Below the list of callbacks, and associated external wrappers:<br>

<table width="100%">
